Jimmy Eat World
Transcribed by ViviEatWorld
**One of my favourite songs ever**
Tuning: D# (half step down)
Intro:
A Bm G
The first star I see
A Bm G
May not be a star.
A Bm G
We can't do a thing but wait,
A Bm G
So let's wait for one more.
A Bm G x 2
Verse 1:
A Bm G
And the time, such clumsy time
A Bm G
In deciding if it's time.
A Bm G
I'm careful but not sure how it goes.
A Bm G
You can loose yourself in your courage.
Chorus:
A Bm G
When the time we have now ends,
A Bm G
When the big hand goes round again,
A Bm G
Can you still feel the butterflies?
A Bm G
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
A Bm G x 2
Verse 2:
A Bm G
And the mindless comfort grows
A Bm G
When I'm alone with my 'great' plans.
A Bm G
And this is what she says gets her through it:
A Bm G
"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?"
A
If not now, when?
Chorus:
Bm G
(When) the time we have now ends,
A Bm G
When the big hand goes round again,
A Bm G
Can you still feel the butterflies?
A Bm G
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Bridge:
D G Bm G x 4
Bm G
I close my eyes and believe
Bm G A
Wherever you are, an angel for me.
Chorus:
Bm G
(When) the time we have now ends,
A Bm G
When the big hand goes round again,
A Bm G
Can you still feel the butterflies?
A Bm G
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
A Bm G
(When the time we have now ends)*
A Bm G.
(*): This is the background voice, repeated in the whole last chorus, but I just wrote it once.
Hope you like it!
