Dont Wait by Dashboard Confessional - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Dashboard Confessional Song List

Version 1

            Hi, seemed there were no simple chord layouts of this song yet, so I've decided to throw myself in.

By the way, it's my first tab. So the complaint department is in South Africa :P :P

It's really quite simple. Standard tuning, CAPO on fret 3.

[INTRO] C, Am, F, C

    C
The sky glows
                         Am
I see it shining with my eyes closed
                            F
I hear your warnings but we both know
                       C
I'm gonna look at it again

      C           G
Don't wait, Don't wait
                  Am
The road is now a sudden sea
                     F
And suddenly, you're deep enough
                  C      G
To lay your armor down
                  Am     F
To lay your armor down
                     C
To lay your armor down

        C
You get one look
                                 Am
I'll show you something that the night took.
                      F
A bit to early for my own good
                            C
Now let's not speak of it again

      C           G
Don't wait, Don't wait
                  Am
The road is now a sudden sea
                     F
And suddenly, you're deep enough
                  C      G
To lay your armor down
                  Am     F
To lay your armor down

Musical intermission... C, Am, F, C (same as intro)

      C           G
Don't wait, Don't wait
                Am
The lights will flash and fade away
              F
The days will pass you by
      C
Don't wait
                  C     G
To lay your armor down
                  Am    F
To lay your armor down

And the song finishes just like it begins, on a long C chord... nice...

Also, for the fancier ones, if you want to get that neat change of notes within the C 
Am chords, all you have to do is this:

 for the C:                     for the Am:
e|----0----0---0---0-          |---0---0---0---0-|
B|----1----0---1---0-          |---1---0---1---0-|
G|----0----0---0---0-          |---2---2---2---2-|
D|----2----2---2---2-          |---2---2---2---2-|
A|----3----3---3---3-          |---0---0---0---0-|
E|----x----x---x---x-          |---x---x---x---x-|

Anyways... i think you get the point. It really isn't a hard song to play, at least like 
But it's got a good feel to it. Beautiful simplicity.

See ya
