Structure and lyrics:
Intro
Verse 1
take advantage of these times, you said
you let me down
it hasn't been the first time
as i'm falling in the pit of fire my mind's made up
i'm never coming back here
Chorus
how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been traumatized
and i think i'm the only one still alive
Verse 2
is it just a coincidence to see you by yourself with no direction?
now its time to move on and
don't you know that things aren't getting better
Chorus
how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been traumatized
and i think i'm the only one still alive
Bridge
when the world caves in what are you going to do
when the world caves in what are you going to do for me?
when the world caves in what are you going to do
when the world caves in what are you going to do for me?
(don't try and stop me
because i'm falling fast into this pit of fire which surrounds us all
in a blanket of fear that i've been wrapped in for years
you can't stop me)
Chorus (soft)
how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been traumatized
and i think i'm the only one still alive
Chorus (hard)
how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been traumatized
and i think i'm the only one still alive
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official JIMMY EAT WORLD tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
