Jimmy Eat World
"Kill"
Notes:
This song was a bit hard to figure out, but it's just so beautiful and I really wanted to tab it!
I saw other tabs on the net that were completely wrong (in standard tuning)
I think it's easy to understand that the guitars are tuned down half-a-step.
The most difficult part to figure out was the intro/verse where I'm not really sure
what he plays, but I think that my version sound more or less right.
there are some chords that I play in different ways so I'll write it down
here and you'll decide what you prefer:
G#m (466444) I usually play this chord on the chorus like this (x44200).
I just think it sounds better
F# (244322) In the chorus I usually prefer play this (F5: 244xxx)
and you can even alternate the F# with this (x14322) or (2143xx)
I had some problem figuring out the middle part riff, the 3rd chord is a bit hard
to do, but I didn't know how to do it, so if you find something more easy just let
everyone know...

Well you're just across the street
(riff 1) B F#
looks a mile to my feet, I want to go to you....
(riff 1) (riff 1)
Funny how I'm nervous still
(riff 1) B F#
I've always been the easy kill, I guess I always will....
chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmy_eat_world/kill_tab_ver_2.html ]
G#m E B F#
Could it be that everything goes around by chance? (chance)
G#m E B F#
Or only one way that it was always meant to be? (be...)
G#m E B F# G#m
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say (hey hey, hey hey)
E B F# (riff 1)
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away...
repeat verse:
I can picture your face well from the bar in my hotel
I wish I could meet you
I'll pick up put down the phone
like your favorite Heath Mizer song goes, it's just like being alone
repeat chorus:
Oh God, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done these
You kill me, you've got some nerve but can't face your mistakes
I know what I should do but I just can't turn away

So go on love, leave while there's still hope for escape
gotta take what you can these days
there's so much ahead and so much regret
I know what you want to say
I know it but can't help but feel indifferently
I loved you and I should have said it
but tell me, just what has it ever meant?
repeat chorus:
I can't help it baby, this is who I am
and I'm sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel
You kill me, you build me up but just to watch me break
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away
repeat intro riff till the song fade out...
and this is the end...
hope this helps...
please, if you want rate this tab and watch the other tabs I made and
if you want, or if you got some problems, tell me what you think...
