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!

Key: v = vibrato

Drop D-Tuning (low to high: DADGBE)

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

stumbled to your car 
sinking into sweet uncertainty

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
