xThick As Thieves - Dashboard Confessional
tuning is in Eb (like most other DC songs) Capo 2
or you could just Capo 1 and leave it in standard
I'm not sure the bridge is accurate. Feel free to comment and help.
When he plays F in this song, it's Fsus, but any other variation will do
Fsus: 1332XX or 133XXX
F: 133211, X3321X
