Jimmy Eat World
"Work"
this is one of my favourite song on the new album, so
I wanted to tab it and I hope that this will help everyone a bit.
"Futures" is the first album that is all in played down half-a-step
first of all, tune down your guitar half a step and then drop-d
(actually a drop-C#...)

If you only once would let me, only just one time
then be happy with the consequence with whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious when's it ever not
The love we make is killing its take, a game to play along

Repeat intro
(no guitar)
All the best Dj's are saving the slowest song for last
(repeat intro)
when the dance is through it's me and you
come on, would it really be so bad
The things we think might be the same but I won't falthom more
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve, count on the for sure
F#5 D5 (e on 4th)
All I can say
F# D5 (e on 4th) A5
I should of said, can we take a ride?
E5 F#5
Get out of this place while we still have time
D5 A5
D'you wanna take a ride?
E5 F#
Get out of this place while we still have time
D5
yeah - We still have time
SOLO
Can't say I was never wrong but some blame rests on you
Work and play but never okay to mix the way we do...
...................................
All the rest is too easy to understand and I'm too lazy to tab the solo
maybe I'll tab all the rest later, now this is good to start with this
great song, go and get the new Jimmy Eat World record, they do it
again, and that's a great album as always...

| At first, this wasn't my favorite song on the album (I favored "23" by far), but after a few listens and especially now that it's their new single, I've come to love it so much. The notion about it being about prom makes sense, especially about the lines about DJs and whatnot. It's really uplifting, very happy, which is a nice change of pace from the rest of the album, which is still really great. | |

| I'm going to agree with you, Phrenchorn. I guess some songs can be really literal, with the "Work and play, they're never ok to mix the way we do." Great song though, Work and Polaris are my fave. Heh. | |

| I really did not like this song when I first heard it, and I'm still not crazy about it. How the hell can you people think it's the best song on the album? :/ 1 2 3 4 5 Next | |

| You're kidding when you say this song is about Prom right? And you're kidding when you say why is it called Work? Look at the lyrics. ...Besides the lack of intelligence here, this song brilliant. Amazing intro, dropped D guitars are sweet. | |
