Tonight I’ll Take What I Can Get Dashboard Confessional
The other 2 tabs were sort of right... but they were using wrong chords, and the timing
all weird on them, but to me this sounds 100% perfect
Chords Used (different variations) I'm also not 100% sure what some of the chords are
here they are
The progression of chords in the chorus is super-fast and he changes the chord with
word...trust me, this is accurate, just learn the strumming.
[C]x [G]x [Am]x [F]x
