		    Dusk and Summer - Dashboard Confessional

Ok, so there are a lot of tabs for this song that come close, but not quite.  They have 
right chords, just not the right positions.  I figured it out a while ago and then saw 
in concert last week.  After watching Chris play this song, I can tell you this is 100% accurate.


Capo: 2nd fret (Notes relative)
Tuning: Standard
| x = Mute note

    C      G/B     D/F#     G      G/B*     C2


INTRO: C

VERSE 1:
               G/B
She smiled in a big way
                         D/F#
The way a girl like that smiles
                  C
When the world is hers. And she held your eyes
              G/B                 D/F#
Out in the breezeway, down by the shore
               C
In the lazy summer
                   G/B
And she pulled you in
                 D/F#
And she bit your lip
                   C
And she made you hers
           G/B
She looked deep into you as you lay together
D/F#                          C
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer


CHORUS:
           G        D/F#
But you�ve already lost
            G/B*   C2
But you�ve already lost
           G        D/F#
But you�ve already lost
              G/B*         C             G/B     D/F#     C
When you only had barely enough to hang on


VERSE 2:
                    G/B
And she combed your hair
                    D/F#
And she kissed your teeth
                  C
And she made you better than you�d been before
                  G/B
And she told you bad things
                           D/F#
that you wished you could change
              C
In the lazy summer
                   G/B
And she told you laughing
             D/F#
down to her core
                 C
So she would not cry and she lay in your lap
             G/B
as she said  �Nobody here can live forever
D/F#                         C
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer.�

...while you sing this:

She said �No one is alone the way you are alone.�
And you held her looser than you would�ve if you ever could�ve known
Some things tie your life together
With slender threads of things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last

FINAL CHORUS:
          G        D/F#
But you�ve already lost
            G/B*    C2
But you�ve already lost
           G        D/F#
But you�ve already lost
              G/B*         C                 G/B     D/F#
When you only had barely enough of her to hang on
      C
Hang on
     G/B        D/F#
Hang on
     C
Hang on


That's it.  Email me with any questions.
