Leben   Mit 15 Jahren bekam Christopher Ender carrabba seine erste Gitarre von seinem Onkel Angelo geschenkt. Erst nach seinem High-School-Abschluss fing er jedoch an sich ernsthaft mit Musik zu beschäftigen.

Dashboard Confessional es un grupo de música de origen estadounidense, liderado por el músico-compositor y guitarrista Chris Carrabba, originario de Boca Ratón (Florida).   En 1999 nace Dashboard Confessional como un proyecto solista-paralelo de Chris Carrabba, en el cual Chris tocaba la guitarra, cantaba y escribía todas las canciones.  Chris Carrabba grabó un par de cintas, entregadas una a su hermana y otra a su mejor amiga -Amy Fleisher-, quien trabajaba para Fiddler Records. Amy decide hacer un par de copias para unos amigos y así se fueron propagando las grabaciones de Carrabba.

Eb               Cm                  Ab
  Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
            Bb           Db         Eb
This air is blessed, you share with me
Eb              Cm                Ab
  This night is wild, so calm and dull
                  Bb        Db   Eb         
These hearts they race from self control
Eb              Cm                    Ab          
  Your legs are smooth, as they graze mine
            Bb
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at 

         Eb                                           
CHORUS:  All.  My hopes are so high that your kiss might 
Gm7
kill me
             Ab
So won't you kill me
         Gm7    Ab    Gm7 
So I die happy
Eb                             Gm7
    My heart is yours to fill or burst
               Ab            Gm7
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry
     Ab   Gm7    Eb
Whichever you prefer

(Verse 2 same chords as 1st verse)
       Eb  Cm  Ab  Bb  Db  Eb

The words are hushed, lets not get busted
Just lay entwined here
Undiscovered
Safe and near from all the stupid questions
Hey did you get some?
Man that is so dumb
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't here
So we can get some


CHORUS x1

Cm                       Ab 
  Hands down this is the best day
      Eb   
I can ever remember
Bb
Always remember
    Cm                        Ab    
The sound of your stereo, the dim of the soft lights
    Eb                           Bb
The scent of your hair, that you twirl in your fingers
        Cm                         Ab  
And the time on the clock, when we realized it's so late
         Eb                     Bb
And this walk that we shared, together
    Cm                       Ab
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
     Eb               Bb
So I jumped it, and I let you in
        Cm                           Ab
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
        Eb                 Bb
And you kissed me like you meant it 
      Cm             Ab
And I knew, that you meant it
         Eb                 Bb
That you meant it, that you meant it 
      Cm             Ab
And I knew, that you meant it,
         Eb
That you meant it

She smiled in a big way
                           D
The way a girl like that smiles
                   Em
When the world is hers
                   C
And she held your eyes

Out in the breezeway
              D
Down by the shore
              Em        C
In the lazy summer


                   G
And she pulled you in
                  D
And she bit your lip

And she made you hers

Deep into you as you lay together

Quiet in the grasp

Of dusk and summer

Barely enough

To hang on

Dusk And Summer

[Intro]
G-Am-Em-D

[Verse 1]
 G            Am
Hand out the window
            Em
Floatin' on air
                    D
Just a flip of the wrist
                     G    Am-Em-D
I'd be wavin' you goodbye
 G                Am
Drive past the lifeguard stand
 Em                  D                  G      Am-Em-D
Where I sit around waiting for you to remember
 C          G
As I drive


[Chorus]
 G       Am                  C
How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes
         Em               D                Bb                C
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying
 G           Am                    C
And how the grace with which she walked into your life
      Em                 D
Will stay with you in your steps
      Bb              C
And pace with you a while

So long, so long

So long, so long


[Verse 2]
 G             Am           Em
The speaker in this door is blown
     D                   G
So nothing sounds quite right
                  Am                       Em       D    G
Taking my time, taking this drive, waving this town goodbye
                  Am    Em   D
And I drive this ocean road
       G
And remember
                   Am                       Em
The small of your back, nape of your neck, I remember everything
 D      C
as I drive
                   G
Waving this town goodbye


[Chorus]
 G       Am                  C
How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes
         Em               D                Bb                C
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying
 G           Am                    C
And how the grace with which she walked into your life
      Em                 D
Will stay with you in your steps
      Bb              C
And pace with you a while
 Bb  C       Bb         C      Bb        
       G  Am-Em
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long, so long
     D       G
So long, so long
                  Am                       Em     D    
  Am-Em
Taking my time, taking this drive, waving this town goodbye

So long, so long
     D          C
So long, so long


[Bridge]
 C
And I will leave under the cover
 C
Of summer's kiss upon the sky
 C
Like the storm face of your lover
 C
Just before she says goodbye
 C
I was certain that the season could be held between my arms
 C
But just as summer's hold is fleeting
 C                       G  Am-Em-D
I was here and now I'm gone

(Repeat G-Am-Em-D for the rest of the song; end on G)

 Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight

  You have stolen my heart


Eb                    Bb               C

Stolen

Verse 1

D#                C 
Hope dangles on a string
                     Bb 
Like slow spinning redemption
                       Ab 
Winding in and winding out
                              D# 
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
  C               Bb 
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
    Ab 
I am captivated

Chorus
    D# 
I am Vindicated
     Bb 
I am selfish  I am wrong
     Ab 
I am right  I swear I'm right

I swear I knew it all along
         D# 
And I am flawed
        Bb 
But I am cleaning up so well
     Ab 
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Verse 2
   D# 
So clear
                         C 
Like the diamond in your ring
                   Bb 
Cut to mirror your intentions
                  Ab 
Oversized and overwhelmed
                                 D# 
The shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me
  C             Bb 
So isoloated, so motivated
     Ab 
I am certain now that

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
   C 
So turn
                       Bb 
Up the corners of your lips
                             Ab 
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
C 
Defense is paper thin
         Bb 
Just one touch and I'd be in
    Ab 
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
               D# 
So let me slip away
               C 
So let me slip away 
               Bb 
So let me slip away
                           Ab 
So let me slip against the current
               D# 
So let me slip away
               C 
So let me slip away
               Bb 
So let me slip away
               Ab 
So let me slip away

Repeat Chorus

       D# 
Slight hope
                Bb 
It dangles on a string
                   Ab 
Like slow spinning redemption...

As we lay in the shade of poison trees

Are we as safe as we'd like ourselves to believe

If there's a crime we'll keep it secret

I Am a savior

Where upper crust tragedies abound

A tip for the girl at the Coat check

And all you ever cared about got lost
E                    D

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B

C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B

A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine

I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D

       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

There are children standing here,

Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,

Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
