Dashboard Confessional is an acoustic rock group started in 2000, by Chris Carrabba in Boca Raton, Florida, as a side project from his band Further Seems Forever.
Chris recorded his first album, The Swiss Army Romance, in 2000. The following year, he recorded Further Seems Forever's debut album The Moon Is Down. However, he left the band soon after the album's release, instead recording and releasing his sophomore album The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, as well as a follow-up EP titled So Impossible.

intro:
CAFF-GFF-G CAFF-GFF-G
verse 1: G The signal is subtle EmF We pass just close enough to touch G No questions, no answers EmF We know by now to say enough G With only simple words EmF With only subtle turns G The things we feel alone for one another
chorus: FAm There is a secret that we keep C I won't sleep if you won't sleep FAmG Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given FAmC We are compelled to do what we must do FAmG We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
EmF So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight
verse 2: G Our act of defiance EmF We keep this secret in our blood G No paper or letters EmF We pass just close enough to touch G We love in secret names EmF We hide within our veins G The things that keep us bound to one another
chorus: FAm There is a secret that we keep C I won't sleep if you won't sleep FAmG Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given FAmC We are compelled to do what we must do FAmG We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
bridge: Am Until the last resilient hope F Has frozen deep inside my bones C And this broken fate has claimed me F And my memories for its own Am Your name is pounding through my veins F Can't you hear how it is sung? C And I can taste you in my mouth G Before the words escape my lungs C And I'll whisper only once...
chorus: FAm There is a secret that we keep C I won't sleep if you won't sleep FAmG Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given FAmC We are compelled to do what we have to FAmG We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
ending: FAmC 'Cause you will be somebody's girl FAmG And you will keep each other warm FCAmGF But tonight I am feeling cold
