Rooftops and Invitations
by Dashboard Confessional
From the album Dusk and Summer.
Tabbed by Carl C. (CCon2284@yahoo.com)
By request, Rooftops and Invitations,
as you know I don't have a musical ear,
so if there are chord changes missing please forgive me.
It seems too simple to me,
the KISS principle says to "keep it simple, stupid" so here it goes...
listen to the song to get the timings down.

INTRO:
A#add11 Gm Abadd9 x4
VERSE 1:
A#add11 Eb5
the first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
A#add11 Eb5 Gm(barred) Abadd9 A#add11
and the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
Eb5
and sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
A#add11 Eb5 Abadd9 Gm(barred) Abadd9
such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix
CHORUS:
A#add11 Eb5
she just might get you lost
Cm7 Eb5
and she just might leave you torn
A#add11 Eb5
but she just might save your soul
Gmadd11 Eb5
if she gets you when she gets you any closer
A#add11 Gm Abadd9 x2
VERSE 2:
A#add11 D#5 A#add11
she leads you up, points out skylines and stars, steeple chases in bars
Eb5 Gm(barred) Abadd9 Bbadd9
and took your keys and demanded that you stay
Eb5
the city longs well for rooftops and invitations
A#add11 Abadd9 Gm(barred) Abadd9
all lace in secret places, she moves you to touch with her hands
CHORUS:
A#add11 Eb5
she just might get you lost
Cm7 Eb5
and she just might leave you torn
A#add11 Eb5
but she just might save your soul
Gmadd11 Eb5
if she gets you when she gets you any closer
BRIDGE:
Ab Cm Ebsus2 Cm Ab
under the cold sheet, where the welcomed touch of skin and skin will meet
Cm Ebsus2
out on the inside where a girls prize is at the tip of your tongue
Bb Ebsus2 Csus2 Ebsus2
where every move and each impulse brings clarity
Bb Ebsus2 Csus2 Ebsus2
to stay like this is everything you'll ever need
CHORUS:
A#add11 Eb5
she just might get you lost
Cm7 Eb5
and she just might leave you torn
A#add11 Eb5
but she just might save your soul
Gmadd11 Eb5
if she gets you when she gets you any closer
A#add11 Eb5
she just might get you lost
Cm7 Eb5
and she just might leave you torn
A#add11 Eb5
but she just might save your soul
Gmadd11 Eb5
if she gets you when she gets you any closer
