"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World
Tab by Jay Bartholomew
Play the Intro riff for all the verses. I put chords in the verse
just to show when the key changes occur in the Intro riff. You can
also just play the chords muted in the verse and it'll sound okay.
For the exact playing, use the tab though. Try pressing down on the
actual metal fret bar for a good mute sound.

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.
