                        My Best Theory - Jimmy Eat World

Tabbed by: Totes Magotes

Notes: 1. Tab as well as the corresponding chords. Lyrics might be off a bit.

       2. */* & *()* for alternate or optional notes/chords. Some of them are
       pretty close but I gave both options. Personally, I feel like the Em 
       works best in the verses and Em7 in the chorus.

Tuning: Standard



Lead Guitar Intro: (Riff also plays during chorus)

Verse 1:

Em/Em7                  Asus4                           (Dsus4)

 It's been a long time, so long; there's only one life I know

Em/Em7                   Asus4                        (Dsus4)

 But I have my own mind, I'll say so if it seems right
                                                      oh, rush out
                                                      
Em/Em7                            Asus4                         (Dsus4)

 I see your warm face with the soft mouth, but it speaks something else

Em/Em7                         Asus4                     Dsus4

 I'll take my chances with the cast down, we can feel the air



Chorus:

Em/Em7

Rush out, out from the center
                   
D/Asus4             Dsus4   D

Not like one side is any better

Em/Em7

Stand up as they've been preaching

D/Asus4           Dsus4     D

My best theory is already in me



Em/Em7
            


Verse 2:

Asus                        Dsus4  Em/Em7

We can feel, we can feel the air
                                 rush out

Em/Em7                      Asus4               (Dsus4)

 So many questions, and the answers come back unanswered

Em/Em7                           Asus4                        Dsus4

 Let's hold the old script, it's a new twist, you can feel the air


(Chorus)


Bridge: 

Em                        G

In a lonely, real place / Neither part nor mistake

C/Esus2(maj7)                B   (Dsus 4  D)

Not what you had with your time

Em                     G          

My doubt sings faith / My true desire

C/Esus2(maj7)       B               

My threat, my appetite



Lead Guitar Solo:

   Em/Em7                                                           B

           Dsus4

I feel the air...

(Chorus) 2x


End on Em
