**I found a video of Tom playing Watch the World on an acoustic guitar, and it
sounded amazing when he played it. It's not the whole song; it's only an intro, 
the first verse, and the pre-chorus. Still, it sounds great. Here's a link for 
the video: http://english.blink182.ru/video.shtml--the video is at the very, 
very bottom of the page. I seriously recommend you download this video and 
learn how to play the song.

Like I said, it’s just a very short clip of the song. Still, it’s probably the 
best song I’ve ever heard Tom play acoustic. Also, the intro sounds a lot like 
the intro for “there is”...I don’t know what’s going on there, but that’s how 
he plays the intro in this song. I tabbed this song out completely by ear, and 
I’m almost certain that there’s no other tab for this particular version of 
“watch the world” on the internet.
