Dashboard Confessional – The End Of An Anchor (Guitar)

Gb               Db
I was away for a while

        Bbm                   B
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me

            Gb          Db
But I don't deserve it

     Bbm                    B
I'll cherish it well if you give me

                Gb
One of your new starts

              Db
Just one more last chance

                  Bbm
I swear that I'll earn it

                    B
If you front me for now

                Gb     Db
I'm good for it I swear

               Bbm    B
I'm better now I swear

   Gb
In earlier days

       Ebm
They'd carry them off

    Db
And hobble their legs

    Gb
For lesser offences

    Ebm
But still you allow me

   Db           B
To walk free of pain

         Gb
Though I punish myself

    B
The debts I've incurred

    Bb
For scorning the face

   Gb
Of absolute beauty

    B
And though I once mocked you

    Bm                  Gb Emaj7913 B
I'm dying to pay for it now.

    Bbm                 Gb Emaj7913 B Bm
I'm dying to pay for it now.

   Gb
So hand me the rocks

   Db
To help weigh me down

    Gb                    Ebm          Db
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound to the

Gb
End of an anchor

       Db
Thrown in to the sound

    Gb
And test me to see

   Ebm    Db
If I will rise

 B
Against

    Ebm
The worst

     Db
That it

    G
Can get.

Gb                  Db
I wasn't well for a while

  Bbm                     B
I savor the things that I knew

                     Gb
Were sure to destroy me

                   Db
And that seemed to hold me

               Bbm                       B
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go

                      Gb
On the strength of my own

                Db   Bbm B
But I should've known

                  Gb    Db
That that gets me nowhere

                      Bbm  B
I've learned that now I swear

   Gb
In earlier days

       Ebm
They'd carry them off

    Db
And hobble their legs

    Gb
For lesser offences

    Ebm
But still you allow me

   Db           B
To walk free of pain

         Gb
Though I punish myself

    B
The debts I've incurred

    Bb
For scorning the face

   Gb
Of absolute beauty

    B
And though I once mocked you

    Bm                  Gb Emaj7913 B
I'm dying to pay for it now.

    Bbm                 Gb Emaj7913 B Bm
I'm dying to pay for it now.

     Abm7     Bbm7        B
Well I wasn't sure that I could

     Abm7     Bbm7        B
Well I wasn't sure that I could

     Abm7     Bbm7        B
Well I wasn't sure that I could

      Gb
But I can.
