I would first of all like to say that some of this was worked out by the unregistered
who did the chords version but I've just tweaked a few things and added tabbed parts for
intro, solo and outro. Also I haven't bothered putting the right spacing inbetween notes
the tabbed parts because it's very easy to work out if you just listen to the song :)
Chords:
E5: x799xx
D#7: x698xx
Asus2: x022xx
Bsus2: x244xx
E: 0221xx
C#m: x466xx

E5 D#7 Asus2 Bsus2
E5 D#7
Down in a local bar
E5
Out on the Boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
D#7
Is saving you from sinking
Asus2 Bsus2
It's a long way down, it's a long way
E5 D#7
Back like you never broke
E5
You tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg
D#7
And thinks he's getting close
For now you let him
Asus2
Just this once
Bsus2
Just for now
Asus2
And just like that
Bsus2
It's over
E
Don't turn away
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
C#m
Don't be afraid
Asus2
But keep it all inside, all inside
E
When you fall apart
Asus2
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
C#m
Life is always hard

For the Belle of the Boulevard

E5 D#7
In all your silver rings
E5
In all your silken things
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dashboard-confessional/203360.html ]
That song you softly sing
D#7
Is keeping you from breaking
Asus2 Bsus2
It's a long way down, it's a long way
E5 D#7
Back here you're never lost
E5
You shake the shivers off
You take a drink
D#7
To get your courage up
Can you believe it?
Asus2
Just this once
Bsus2
Just for now
Asus2
And just like that
Bsus2
It's over

Don't turn away
