THE GOOD FIGHT - Dashboard Confesional
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: down half step (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb)
Made a correction here to add in all the nuances of the song. It could still be wrong, but this is how I
remember learning it and it looks like this is how he plays it on the MTV unplugged version

Verse
Consider the odds, consider the obvious, the martyr is meaningless,
the campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces,
are the singular proof that it was ever alive.
This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded
and left to die, championless, championless, championless
Chorus 1
E* B A* A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E* B A* A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.
E* B A* A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E* B A* A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.
Verse 2
Hope has sprung a perfect dive, a perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.
This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded
and left to die, championless, championless, championless
Chorus 2
E* B A* A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E* B A* A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.
E* B A* A
I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.
E* B A* A
Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

Bridge
(The rhythm changes a little here. The easiest way to play this is to play the first 4 chords as D DU)
E** F# A** G#/A A
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
E** F# A** G#/A A
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
E** F# A** G#/A A
to boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen
E** F# A** G#/A A
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
