Carve Your Heart Out Yourself - Dashboard Confessional

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Jobie

Tuning:EAD#F#BD#

First, let me start out by saying that although this is my first tab and

it's not perfect, it's pretty dang close. That said, I was tired of looking

for the tab to this song on the internet and never finding it, so I decided

to tab it myself. It's pretty easy to figure out once you know the tuning.

I have given the chords for the verses; figure out the strumming pattern on

your own. A great song by a great band. Hope you like it.

Intro:

D#|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|------------------|
B |------0------0---|------0------0---|------0------0---|------0---------0-|
F#|--------0------0-|--------0------0-|--------0------0-|--------0--------0|
D#|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
A |---2-------------|---2-------------|---2-------------|---2--------2-----|
E |-2---------------|-0---------------|-2---------------|-0--------0-------|
D#|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|-----------0------|
B |------0------0---|------0------0---|------0----------|------0-----------|
F#|--------0------0-|--------0------0-|--------0--------|--------0---------|
D#|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
A |---2-------------|---2-------------|---2-------------|---2--------------|
E |-2---------------|-0---------------|-2---------------|-0----------------|

Verse:

"Carve your..." "Hopelessness..." "Since you've..." "Are you..."

D#|----0------0-----|----0------0-----|----0------0-----|----0------0------|
B |----0------0-----|----0------0-----|----0------0-----|----0------0------|
F#|----0------0-----|----0------0-----|----0------0-----|----0------0------|
D#|----0------8-----|----0------8-----|----0------8-----|----0------8------|
A |----2------7-----|----2------7-----|----2------7-----|----2------7------|
E |----2------0-----|----2------0-----|----2------0-----|----2------0------|

Pre-Chorus:

"Man it..." "But it..."

D#|----0----0----0----|----0----0----0----|
B |----0----0----0----|----0----0----0----|
F#|----0----0----0----|----0----0----0----|
D#|----0----0----8----|----0----0----8----|
A |----2----2----7----|----2----2----7----|
E |----4----2----0----|----4----2----0----|

Chorus:

"Oh look now there...again"

D#|----0----0----0----0--------0----|----0----0----0----0--------0----|
B |----0----0----0----0--------0----|----0----0----0----0--------0----|
F#|----0----0----0----0--------0----|----0----0----0----0--------0----|
D#|----0----0----0----0--------8----|----0----0----0----0--------8----|
A |----2----4----6----6--------7----|----2----4----6----6--------7----|
E |----2----2----4----4--------0----|----2----2----4----4--------0----|

Repeat chorus during "I will stay I will stay..."

During this part the lead does some sort of variations of:

D#|-----3--1--3--|
B |--0-----------|
F#|--------------|
D#|--------------|
A |--------------|
E |--------------|

(I'm pretty sure there is no hammer-on or pull-off on this lead, but it's

not that crucial. Play around with it to get the rest of the lead.)

Outro:

D#|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|-----------0------|
B |------0------0---|------0------0---|------0------0---|------0-----------|
F#|--------0------0-|--------0------0-|--------0------0-|--------0----0-0--|
D#|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
A |---2-------------|---2-------------|---2-------------|---2--------------|
E |-2---------------|-0---------------|-2---------------|-0----------------|
D#|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|-----------0-----|-----------0------|
B |------0------0---|------0------0---|------0----------|------0-------0---|
F#|--------0------0-|--------0------0-|--------0--------|--------0-------0-|
D#|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
A |---2-------------|---2-------------|---2-------------|---2--------------|
