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.

E Down in a local bar B Out on the Boulevard E The sound of an old guitar B Is saving you from sinking AB It's a long way down it's a long way
E Back like you never broke B You tell a dirty joke E He touches your leg B And thinks he's getting close
For now you let him A Just this once B Just for now A And just like that B It's over
E Don't turn away A Dry your eyes dry your eyes C#m Don't be afraid A But keep it all inside all inside E When you fall apart A Dry your eyes dry your eyes C#m Life is always hard Asus2 For the Belle of the Boulevard
In all your silver rings In all your silken things That song you softly sing Is keeping you from breaking It's a long way down it's a long way
Back here you never lost You shake the shivers off You take a drink To get your courage up Can you believe it Just this once Just for now And just like that It's over
[Chorus]
EB Please hold on it's alright C#mB Please hold on it's alright AB Please hold on
Down in a local bar Out on the boulevard The sound of an old guitar Is saving you
