(from the high 19 till the 12 is fast up and down picking,
I think it is 6 picks at each, but it may be 8, play it how
you think.)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmy_eat_world/middle_tab_ver_5.html ]
That's the whole song, pretty simple, just one riff, you have to
remember to use palm muting on the verses and not on the chorus,
and if you can't manage the solo, get a mate to play it!
any corrections or praise, send to

"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World

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.
