"For Me This Is Heaven"
Jimmy Eat World
Transcribed by ViviEatWorld
**One of my favourite songs ever**
Tuning: D# (half step down)
Intro:
ABmG
The first star I see
ABmG
May not be a star.
ABmG
We can't do a thing but wait,
ABmG
So let's wait for one more.
A Bm G x 2
Verse 1:
ABmG
And the time, such clumsy time
ABmG
In deciding if it's time.
ABmG
I'm careful but not sure how it goes.
ABmG
You can loose yourself in your courage.
Chorus:
ABmG
When the time we have now ends,
ABmG
When the big hand goes round again,
ABmG
Can you still feel the butterflies?
ABmG
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
A Bm G x 2
Verse 2:
ABmG
And the mindless comfort grows
ABmG
When I'm alone with my 'great' plans.
ABmG
And this is what she says gets her through it:
ABmG
"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?"
A
If not now, when?
Chorus:
BmG
(When) the time we have now ends,
ABmG
When the big hand goes round again,
ABmG
Can you still feel the butterflies?
ABmG
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Bridge:
D G Bm G x 4
BmG
I close my eyes and believe
BmGA
Wherever you are, an angel for me.
Chorus:
BmG
(When) the time we have now ends,
ABmG
When the big hand goes round again,
ABmG
Can you still feel the butterflies?
ABmG
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
ABmG
(When the time we have now ends)*
A Bm G.
(*): This is the background voice, repeated in the whole last chorus, but I just wrote it once.
Hope you like it!
