Screaming Infidelities — Dashboard Confessional
Chords and lyrics for Screaming Infidelities by Dashboard Confessional (key of D).
Verse 1
Well, I don't know about you, but I do know that Dashboard Confessional's
tendency to
use weird tunings pisses me off. So, here's a version that only makes you
tune down a
half step--easy to undo afterwards.
Tune Guitar Down 1/2 Step--Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
**Verse 1** (lead-in: G G G F#m)
I'm [A]missing you bad, [E]I never sleep.
[F#m]Avoiding the spots where [E]we'd have to speak.
And this [F#m]bottle of beast is [A]taking me [D][G][G]home.[F#m][G]
I'm [A]cuddling close to [E]blankets and sheets,
But [F#m]you're not alone, and [A]you're not discrete.
[F#m]Make sure I know who's [A]taking me [D][G][G]home.[F#m][G]
I'm [A]reading your note [E]over again,
And [F#m]there's not a word that [E]I comprehend,
[F#m]Except where you signed it "I will [A]love you always and [B]forever."
**Bridge**
**Chorus**
Well [F#m]as for now I'm gonna hear the [D]saddest songs,
And [F#m]sit alone and [D]wonder, how you're [E]making out.
But [F#m]as for me, I wish that I was [Am]anywhere,
With [A]anyone, [D]making out...
**Verse 2** (G G G F#m)
I'm [F#m]missing your laugh, [A]how did it break?
And [F#m]when did your eyes [A]begin to look fake?
I [F#m]hope you're as happy as [D]you're [G][G]pretending.[F#m][G]
I'm [F#m]cuddling close to [A]blankets and sheets.
[F#m]I am alone [A]in my defeat,
[F#m]I wish I knew we were [D]safely at [G][G]home.[F#m][G]
I'm [F#m]missing you bad, [A]I never sleep.
[F#m]Avoiding the spots where [Am]we'd have to speak.
And this [F#m]bottle of beast is [D]taking me home.
**Bridge**
**Chorus**
**Outro**
[E] Your [D]hair, it's [E][D]everywhere. [F#m]Screaming [D]infidelities and [F#m]taking its [D]wear.
[E] Your [D]hair, it's [E][D]everywhere. [F#m]Screaming [D]infidelities and [F#m]taking its [D]wear.
And Then When The Singing Gets Up Into That Castrati Range The 3Rd Time:
[A] Your hair, it's [G][A]everywhere!! [G]Screaming [A]infidelities and [G]taking its [D]wear.
And To Close The Song:
[E] Your [D]hair, it's [E][D]everywhere. [F#m]Screaming [D]infidelities and [F#m]taking its [D]wear.
Notes: Wherever "G G G F#m" is indicated, you can just play those notes on
the top
string of the guitar instead of playing the whole chord.
Also, the tab for the bridge is approximate--generally it puts the right
notes in the
right places but listen to the track to get it 100% correct.
Fingerings:
D=200232 (use your thumb on the sixth string; this is technically a D/F#
chord, but
Dashboard loves getting the most out of their six guitar strings so use
this chord to
better reflect that)
G=320033/355433 (use the barre G to transition from G to F#m)
Am=x02210/577555 (use the barre chords if you're able to use all 6 strings,
A=x02220/577655 as Dashboard is fond of doing)
Good luck!
