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.

Rooftops and Invitations by Dashboard Confessional From the album Dusk and Summer. Tabbed by Carl C. ([email protected])
By request, Rooftops and Invitations, as you know I don't have a musical ear, so if there are chord changes missing please forgive me. It seems too simple to me, the KISS principle says to "keep it simple, stupid" so here it goes... listen to the song to get the timings down.
Tuning: Half Step Down (D# G# C# F# A# D#) Key of D# {D#FGG#BbCDD#}
A#add11 D#5 the first time you looked at her curves you were hooked A#add11 D#5Gm(barred) G#add9 A#add11 and the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay D#5 and sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released A#add11 D#5G#add9Gm(barred) G#add9 such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix
CHORUS:
A#add11 D#5 she just might get you lost Cm7D#5 and she just might leave you torn A#add11 D#5 but she just might save your soul Gmadd11 D#5 if she gets you when she gets you any closer
A#add11 GmG#add9 x2
VERSE 2:
A#add11 D#5 A#add11 she leads you up, points out skylines and stars, steeple chases in bars D#5Gm(barred) G#add9A#add9 and took your keys and demanded that you stay D#5 the city longs well for rooftops and invitations A#add11 G#add9Gm(barred) G#add9 all lace in secret places, she moves you to touch with her hands
CHORUS:
A#add11 D#5 she just might get you lost Cm7D#5 and she just might leave you torn A#add11 D#5 but she just might save your soul Gmadd11 D#5 if she gets you when she gets you any closer
BRIDGE: G#CmD#sus2CmG# under the cold sheet, where the welcomed touch of skin and skin will meet CmD#sus2 out on the inside where a girls prize is at the tip of your tongue A#D#sus2Csus2D#sus2 where every move and each impulse brings clarity A#D#sus2Csus2D#sus2 to stay like this is everything you'll ever need
CHORUS:
A#add11 D#5 she just might get you lost Cm7D#5 and she just might leave you torn A#add11 D#5 but she just might save your soul Gmadd11 D#5 if she gets you when she gets you any closer A#add11 D#5 she just might get you lost Cm7D#5 and she just might leave you torn A#add11 D#5 but she just might save your soul Gmadd11 D#5 if she gets you when she gets you any closer
