Disintegration tab by Jimmy Eat World

Guitar tabs

Song: Disintegration
Band: Jimmy Eat World
Album: Stay On My Side Tonight (ep)


This is very roughly arranged, it was a pretty difficult song to tab
as with any live version/video they'll play pretty different parts...
I haven't tried to be precise with the note count. Some notes may be off but still
in tune i suppose.

I welcome suggestions/corrections and even a new tab, just don't
butcher mine and call it yours

Dropped C# - (drop every string a semi-tone, and then drop the E string,
now Eb, down a tone)

The song ends with Guitar 2: (T-C)

Lyrics:
I've spent my last nights strung up and pulled tight,
Holding out sleeping proud.
An answer comes without a please.
Do what you want.

I wonder why I'm so caught off guard when we kiss.
I'd rather live my life in regret than do this.
What happened to the love we both knew, we both chased?
Hanging on a cigarette, you need me, you'll burn me
You'll burn me.

Hushed with a finger,
don't say you'll never when you might
Oh, just another time
This poison comes instruction free.
Do what you want, But I'm drinking.

I wonder why I'm so caught off guard when we kiss.
I'd rather live my life in regret than do this.
What happened to the love we both knew, we both chased?
Hanging on a cigarette, you need me, you'll burn me
You'll burn me.

Try to lie, better next time
Stay on my side tonight, ohhh ohh ohh...

I wonder why I'm so caught off guard when we kiss.
I'd rather live my life in regret than do this.
What happened to the love we both knew, we both chased?
Hanging on a cigarette, you need me, you'll burn me
You'll burn me.
