Thick As Thieves - Dashboard Confessional
 
tuning is in Eb (like most other DC songs) Capo 2
or you could just Capo 1 and leave it in standard
I'm not sure the bridge is accurate. Feel free to comment and help.
 
When he plays F in this song, it's Fsus, but any other variation will do

F: 133211, X3321X
 
Intro:
C F Am F X2
 
Verse:
         C           F
Would it kill you to breathe
      Am    F                C            F
Is it only 17 miles right between you and me?
        Am           F
I could make it if I have to
        C         F
I don't break easily
       Am               F
Got my consol, thick as thieves
             C                   F
If there's a crime we'll keep it secret
            Am          F                   G
But there's only trace amounts left in your blood

But you may be justified
 
Chorus:
               C     G
Just keep your mouth shut
          Am    Em
Keep your guard up
  F          G       C (strum once then pause)
I swear I'll make it right

Would it kill me to breathe?
      Am    F               C             F
Is it only 17 miles right between you and me?
        Am           F
I could fake it if I have to
        C        F
I don't bend easily
       Am               F
Got my consol, thick as thieves
          C               F
I have no crown to keep a secret
       Am               F
It was hers, it was not mine

Well I may be a sinner

But it wasn't me this time

I swear I'll make it right
 
Bridge:
Am
Listen to yourself
           Em
You have a hemorhage in your mouth
              F
It won't stop bleeding
 
Chorus:
C            G
You may be a sinner
           Am               Em
But I will hold the smoking gun

We'll get away clean
               G               Am                  Em
I'll keep your secrets til the grave has swallowed me
           F            G                    Am            Em
And I will never tell a tortured soul that's burning by my side
            F
That I am a sinner
       G
I Am A savior
       C
I Am A lie
 
             C     G
So keep your mouth shut
          Am    Em
Keep your guard up
  F          G       C
I swear I'll make it right

lyric corrections first verse: EASY only 17 miles LAY between you and me second verse: NOT AS EASY AS YOU THINK IT IS between you and me I could fake it if i have to I dont BREAK easily I NEED YOUR counsil, thick as thieves Last chorus: You may be a TRAITOR I will hold the smoking gun YOU'LL get a way clean and its not "you have hemorhage in your mouth" its "there is a hemorhage in your mouth" okay just wanted to help you out! Great tabs though thanks sooo much!

I noticed that it's actually easier to play without a capo, just barring everything. That way you never have to make the sometimes awkward switches between open and barre chords. Anyway, thanks alot 'cause this is a great song and a nearly dead-on tab.
