Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World
Transcribed by: randyOfender

EVEN IF THIS TAB DOESN'T HAVE 5 STARS, THIS IS THE WAY IT'S PLAYED ON THE ALBUM
"BLEED AMERICAN". PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY CORRECTIONS BECAUSE I WOULD BE
ABSOLUTELY AMAZED IF THERE ARE ANY. CHEERS.

--->I'VE FINALLY COME TO A CONCLUSION ABOUT THE CLEAN PART, lol
--->(The tabs for this song have been, to say the least, wrong,
so i thought I'd give it a try)
--->(It might look long, but it's real simple)
--->(Use these riffs at the begining to make up the Intro/Verse)

Intro/Verse x4
"If you're listening..." --->(voice only)

Lyrics:

Intro and Verse
if you're 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
i was spinning free
with a little sweet and simple numbing me
stumbled to your car
sinking into sweet uncertainty

Interlude 1

Interlude 2
are you're listening (are you listening?)
sing it back
i'm still running away
i won't play your hide and seek game

Chorus
i was spinning free
with a little sweet and simple numbing me
but i did say dance
the sweetness will not be concerned with me

Ending
no, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
no, the sweetness will not be concerned with me


--->NOT SURE ABOUT THESE LYRICS, GOT THEM OFF THE OFFICIAL SITE,
BUT THEY MAY BE WRONG. MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND.
