Chords

This is by far, one of the better, lesser known Dashboard Confessional songs, and I was to see no adequate chords for it. The majority of this is improvised, as Chris uses few chords throughout the song. Played in half-step-down tuning. The A7 Chord is played, from lowest string, to highest, as opposed to 002020. Strumming pattern is down-down up-up, in syncopation (listen to for further details)
  G                     C

                 D
at this time of year

and we'll share a bottle there

      G                        B

they hire our fathers to steer

      G                       C
and down to the edge of the water

                       A7
where we'll spill our guts

                     D
and we'll name our fears
