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.

For those who don't want to tune down half a step, this should work, since it's mostly transposed. This is my first tab, but that's no excuse if I've screwed it up :)
CAPO 1
DBm Hope dangles on a string Asus4 Like slow spinning redemption G Winding in and winding out D The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in BmAsus4 So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing G I am captivated
[Chorus] D I am Vindicated G I am selfish
I am wrong Bm I am right
I swear I'm right Asus4 I swear I knew it all along D And I am flawed G But I am cleaning up so well BmAsus4 I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
D So clear Bm Like the diamond in your ring Asus4 Cut to mirror your intentions G Oversized and overwhelmed D The shine of which has caught my eye BmAsus4 And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated G I am certain now that
[Chorus]
Bm So turn Asus4 Up the corners of your lips Bm Part them and feel my finger tips Asus4 Trace the moment, fall forever Bm Defense is paper thin Asus4 Just one touch and I'd be in G Too deep now to ever swim against the current D So let me slip away Bm So let me slip away Asus4 So let me slip away G So let me slip against the current D So let me slip away Bm So let me slip away Asus4 So let me slip away G So let me slip away
[Chorus]
Outro (strum lightly and let ring)
D Slight hope Bm It dangles on a string G Like slow spinning redemption...
