Work chords by Jimmy Eat World

Standard Tuning with Capo on I

This is a transcription - originally the song is played in drop C#

The plain Em Chord doesn't sound perfect to me throughout the song,
but I can't figure out a better way. So - as always - feel encouraged
to submit your corrections!

If you only once would let me           |Continue playing
