LFS=Listen For Strumming
Erm. It's a good song, thought I'd tab it out.
Let me know what you think. Listen for the timing/strumming
UPDATES:
OCT 02/04 - I burned the JEW CD, and played it on my good stereo.
The speakers on my computer are awful and after listening to the
solo over and over again I hear it with two strings.
I'll leave the current solo up, but add the other version when
I tab it out. Sorry guys.

| My bad, he mentioned that "Bleed American" was during a time in his life when he was dealing with panic attacks | |

| This is a song about a guy who is in a bad relationship and he knows that it is bad but he holds on anyway because when he is with her she somehow takes his pain away and makes him forget about everything that is making him suffer which is ironically her, whoops personal referance. | |

| runnerconk = genius i see this song meaning something about relationships too, like he loves a girl so much but she doesn tlove him. he only feels the pain when the girl kisses him. go watch the vid | |

| It is probably at least partially about relationships, hence part of the chorus. But what about the line repeated over and over again "It takes my pain." he says he's gonna "smile and not get worried. I try but it shows" that he is worried. I've heard that "bleed american" was partly him dealing with antidepressants. Some of the lines sound like he's depressed (has a girl who doesn't love him, accomplishments that aren't unique, he can't be who people want him to be), and he's doing things that "take my pain away" like the little white pills? maybe? Oh, and the new album comes out in stores october 19th, with a vinyl coming out the 12th | |

| I noticed the kids from the Royal Tenenbaums. Adidas running suits and all. great movie. great song. I think it's about how the pain caused by his girl problem makes him numb to all other pain. | |
