This is by far, one of the better, lesser known Dashboard Confessional songs, and I was
to see no adequate chords for it. The majority of this is improvised, as Chris uses few
chords throughout the song.
Played in half-step-down tuning. The A7 Chord is played, from lowest string, to highest,
as opposed to 002020. Strumming pattern is down-down up-up, in syncopation (listen to
for further details)
