THE SHARP HINT OF NEW TEARS
by:  Dashboard Confessional
album:  The Swiss Army Romance
chords by:  morphinekiss (morguerita@sailormoon.com) 2/11/2005

This tab is as simple as it can be.  I've narrowed it down to three essential chords,
although there are several more that are used in the chorus and bridge.  Feel free to
throw those in at will -- this tab is just a guideline to the very basics of the song. 
Have fun!

C#              Ab
On the way home
                     Bbm
This car hears my confessions
                     C#       Ab       C#
I think tonight I'll take the long way
                Ab
In this weather
                    Bbm
The wind outside is biting
                     C#        Ab      C#
It's left me feeling tired and exposed
                         Ab
You've been asking me to bleed
                        Bbm
It seems these kinds of questions
              C#   Ab     C#
They come too easy to you now
                             Ab
And your lack of shame comes naturally
                   Bbm
I should not be surprised
                      C#     Ab  C#
I should have seen it sooner

              Ab
Expect me to apologize
                            Bbm
For things that you've done wrong
                      C#     Ab  C#
While you're inciting others
                    Ab
You're owning up to nothing
                      Bbm
And I wish that I was gone
                        C#       Ab  C#
'Cause you're not going anywhere

                  Ab
And this damp air 
                   Bbm
It's fighting my defroster
                      C#          Ab              C#
My sighs they ring victorious and fog this tinted glass
                 Ab
And it's clouded
             Bbm
And so is my head
                      C#                 Ab                C#
The hint of these new tears are sharp, I try to choke them back
                 Ab
But it's useless
             Bbm
I'm useless against them
        C#              Ab   C#
They're beating me with ease
C#              Ab
On the way home
                     Bbm
This car hears my confessions
                     C#       Ab       C#
I think tonight I'll take the long way

              Ab
Expect me to apologize
                            Bbm
For things that you've done wrong
                      C#     Ab  C#
While you're inciting others
                    Ab
You're owning up to nothing
                      Bbm
And I wish that I was gone
                        C#       Ab  C#
'Cause you're not going anywhere

C#              Ab
On the way home
                     Bbm
This car hears my confessions
                     C#       Ab       C#
I think tonight I'll take the long way
