Dude,




Good tabs, but the vocals are way off. You might want to modify them as soon as possible. I know everytime I look at these tabs, I get ticked cuz you haven't fixed 'em yet, even though you now know the vocals, since so many people have tried to correct them for you.

This tab is absolutely perfect except for the lyrics. I found the same tab off the official jimmy eat world site . the same one too. just go to a site like lyrics.astraweb.com and change them soon.

you don't need 2 guitars until right before the "solo". use 1 guitar; hit the power chords, an open B, then B on the 2nd fret, instead of making it harder than it actually is
