Sweetness (ver. 2)

	  		Drop-D Tuning (D A D G B E)  
 
 
Artist: Jimmy Eat World 
Title: Sweetness 
Album: Bleed American 
Transcribed by: [email protected] 
 
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! 
 
Key: v = vibrato 
 
Drop D-Tuning (low to high: DADGBE)

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
