Jimmy Eat World - If You Don't Don't guitar tab
If you dont, dont - Jimmy Eat World
Tabbed by Jamie Dalgetty (jdalg@enoreo.on.ca) - http://www.deviantonline.com
I tabbed this song using both the demo version and the bleed american
version. The songs contain some minor differences however in most cases
the songs are identical. The album version uses effects (like a reversed
sounding guitar for some of the guitar 1 intro/outro effects) so in that
case i used the demo versions guitar parts as they are more easily played.
I think this sounds pretty close but I am not sure of a few tings.
For starters, Im not too sure about how guitar 2 is actually played
(is it a 466 or a 465 [strings adg] combination that is played?) not to mention the
fact that on the album version there is a keyboard playing along in some
parts possible changing the way the chords sound. Also during the solo
part, im pretty sure that there is a third guitar playing.
I know this tab isnt perfect, but I would have to give it about a 90% accuracy.

Lyrics
What's wrong baby, don't they treat you like they should?
Did you take 'em for it?
Every penny that you could?
We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand.
Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend.
Don't you know I'm thinkin', drivin' 405 past midnight.
You know I miss you.
Don't you know that I miss you?
Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night.
I would write to you from a museum mile, toast to you:
your whisper, your smile.
Up the stairs at the Weatherford, a ghost each place I hide.
If you don't don't know, why would you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight.
If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
And I need this now more than I ever did.
If you don't well, honey, then you don't.
I left you waiting, at the least could we be friends?
Should have never started, ain't that the way it always ends?
On my life I'll try today, there's so much I've felt I should say, but.
Even if your heart would listen, doubt I could explain.
If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight.
If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
Cause I need this now more than I ever did.
If you don't well, honey, then you don't.
So here we are now, a sip of wine a sip of water.
Someday maybe, maybe someday we'll be smarter.
And I'm sorry that I'm such a mess, I drank all my money could get and,
took everything you let me have and then I never loved you back.
If you don't don't know, why would you say so?
Would you mean the please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight?
If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
Cause I need this now yeah need this, need this.
If you don't well, honey, then you don't
And if you don't well, honey, then you don't
If you don't know, honey, honey, then you don't.
