"Blister"
Jimmy Eat World
"Chorded" by ViviEatWorld
Intro: A D G
A D G
"Take advantage of these times", you said,
G
You let me down,
A D G
It hasn't been the first time.
A D G
As I'm falling in the pit of fire, my mind's made up:
A D G
I'm never coming back here.
Chorus:
D A
And how long would it take me
Bm G
To walk across the United States all alone?
D A
The West coast has been traumatized,
Bm G
And I think I'm the only one still alive.
[Repeat Intro]
Is it just a coincidence
To see you by yourself with no direction?
Now it's time to move on, and then,
Don't you know that things aren't getting better?
[Chorus]
Bm D
When the world caves in, whatcha gonna do?
G
When the world caves in, whatcha gonna do for me?
Bm D
When the world caves in, whatcha gonna do?
G
When the world caves in, whatcha gonna do for me?
Bm
Don't try and stop me,
D
Because I'm falling fast
G
Into this pit of fire, which surrounds us all.
Bm
In a blanket of fear
D
That I've been wrapped in for years.
G
Don't try and stop me, you can't stop me.
[Chorus (soft)]
[Chorus!!!]
That's all! Easy!

| When a lot of people hear this song they seem to think it's about some girl. I didn't get that from it. I thought it was a betrayal between friends. "And how long will it take me to walk across the United States all alone" | |

| i saw them at river rave too. i was wicked pysched when they played some clarity songs, and almost died when they played No Sensitivity (my personal fav). but the crowds there sucked. cant wait to see them at the palladium july 23rd... blister is one of my fav songs off of clarity, the harmony between zack and jim just freakin rocks so much | |
