The Swiss Army Romance by Dashboard Confessional chord (text):

Track: The Swiss Army Romance
Album: Swiss Army Romance
Artist: Dashboard Confessional

I worked this out as I couldn't be bothered to tune down for the song (like alot of his, 
tunes down a semitone), and you can play along with
the album track no problem. Listen to the track for strumming patterns, especially the 
section, as the pattern changes.

Any Comments or suggestions, let me know: liam[at]antiherouk[dot]co[dot]uk
