Hands Down

By Dashboard Confessional

Key of D

[Verse]
D                Bm                  G
  Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
            A                  C
This air is blessed, you share with me
D               Bm                G
  This night is wild, so calm and dull
                  A              C
These hearts they race from self control
D               Bm                    G
  Your legs are smooth, as they graze mine
            A                            D
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all

[Chorus]
D                                         F#m7
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
             G
So won't you kill me
         F#m7    G    F#m7
So I die happy
D                              F#m7
  My heart is yours to fill or burst
            G                F#m7
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry
     G    F#m7   D
Whichever you prefer

[Verse]
D                                    Bm
  The words are hushed, lets not get busted
           G                 A       C
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered
D                                 Bm
Safe and near from all the stupid questions
            G
Hey did you get some?
            A       C
Man that is so dumb
D                  Bm                          G
  Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear
          A        C
So we can get some

[Chorus]
D                                         F#m7
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
             G
So won't you kill me
         F#m7    G    F#m7
So I die happy
D                              F#m7
  My heart is yours to fill or burst
            G                F#m7
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry
     G    F#m7   Bm
Whichever you prefer

[Outro]
Bm                     G
Hands down this is the best day
      D
I can ever remember
A
Always remember
    Bm                        G
The sound of your stereo, the dim of the soft lights
    D                            A
The scent of your hair, that you twirl in your fingers
        Bm                         G
And the time on the clock, when we realized it's so late
         D                      A
And this walk that we shared, together
    Bm                       G
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
     D                A
So I jumped it, and I let you in
        Bm                           G
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
        D                  A
And you kissed me like you meant it
      Bm             G
And I knew, that you meant it
         D                  A
That you meant it, that you meant it
      Bm             G
And I knew, that you meant it,
         D
That you meant it
