Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness (unreleased) Drop-D Tuning (D A D G B E) Artist: Jimmy Eat World Title: Sweetness Album: Bleed American Transcribed by: TQSelf@dellepro.com This is one of my favorite songs off the "Bleed American" album. I based this tab off their Saturday Night Live Performance on 4-06-02, which is basically the same as their second version of this song, which is on the CD. Listen to the song for the strum patterns, timing, and all that other good stuff. This tab is completley accurate, but if you have any quesitions or comments, please email me. Have fun!

Structure + Lyrics Intro and Verse are you listening? sing it back straight from your deadly rhyme wines up and i would do fine Chorus i was spinning free with a little sweet and simple numbing me Verse are you listening? sing it back tell me "what do i need?" what, was this the meaning? Chorus Verse stumbled to your car sinking into sweet uncertainty Interlude Break (play intro) Interlude II and you're listening (are you listening?) sing it back i'm still running away i won't play your hide and seek game Chorus but i did say dance the sweetness will not be concerned with me no, the sweetness will not be concerned with me no, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
