Jimmy Eat World formed in Mesa, Arizona, United States in 1993. They are associated with an array of genres including emo, alternative rock, indie rock and pop punk.

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.

Verse  
     A
You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it.
      F#m
Why isn't it for me, and I noticed
      E
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
      D
Does it end like this?

      A
Time never had a chance to heal your heart
      F#m     
Just remember always counting down to a new start
      E
You always knew the truth
And the world would spin around you
     D
Are you dizzy yet?

CHORUS
     F#m                                 D
Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now
           A                                       E
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
     F#m                                 D
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
            A                     
If there's half a chance in this moment
                   E
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.

Verse
I'll talk and not a lot to think, we live in dreams
And she never quit close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose,
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
That I still walk in.

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can't lick and seal then fold in two
Then avenge so blind.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
F#m                      E    
Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, the last and only.
D
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,

Everything you showed me.
F#m                        E                   D
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels

I told you as I haven't, I never felt this way
I said I have this chocolate stocked my car
Baby it's okay
You said you never had regrets
She says "there's someone else"
Who got that wish, did you get your claim?

CHORUS

Dizzy

F                             Dm
  Could've been a night like any other:
             Bb
  One of us has to drive,
             Bb
  One of us gets to think.
F                                  Dm
  I'll force a laugh to break the silence,
                  Bb
  It's gonna get harder still
     Bb
  Before it gets easy.

# Pre-chorus 1:
C                         Dm        Bb
You can't keep safe what wants to break.


# Chorus:
F
   I'm alone in this,
Dm                  Bb
   I'm all as I've always been,
    Bb
   Right behind what's happening.
F
   She's all lost in this,
Dm                        Bb
   She's all like she'll always be,
      Bb
   A little far for me to reach.


# Verse 2:
F                            Dm
I was just a boy like every other,
                 Bb
I thought I was something fierce,
                 Bb
I thought I was ten times smarter.
 F                                    Dm
Love would be something that I just know,
                Bb
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it.


# Pre-chorus 2:
C                  Dm    Bb
I've been losing plenty since...

             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am

         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice

I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A

G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

Now the candle's end, you are a light turned low  and like the rest of us,
                 F            Am               Dm     C
You've got those old, eternity blues, eternity blues

Your fingers raised, you're looking for the word, what you want is accident
            F                 Am                 Dm    C
And not the drag, spectacular view, what you can lose

 Bb                         F         C
Traffic will slow for the crash years
 Bb                            F         C      Dm     C
There's no other show like it 'round here, as a ruuuule
 Bb                         F         C
Windows will close in the crash years 

Bb                          F        C      Dm     C
    Honey child, you're not safe here, as a ru-u-ule

Crash Years

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
