THE GOOD FIGHT - Dashboard Confesional
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

E F#m C#m A Consider the odds, consider the obvious, the martyr is meaningless, E F#m C#m the campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces, A E are the singular proof that it was ever alive. F#m C#m A This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded E F#m C#m A and left to die, championless, championless, championless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]
E F#m C#m A Hope has sprung a perfect dive, a perfect day, a perfect lie E F#m C#m A A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat. E F#m C#m A This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded E F#m C#m A and left to die, championless, championless, championless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
