Chord/Tab song: My Best Theory

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Best Theory - Jimmy Eat World


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Totes Magotes
Email: [email protected]

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)

[Em/Em7]

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]
