Dont Wait Tab

by Dashboard Confessional


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: , , , 


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


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


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


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


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

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