Softer

Release Date: 1998 Tuning: Drop D-Tuning This song isn?t on any of Jimmy Eat World main albums. It is off a Self-Titled EP they released in 1998, I was amaized at how many albums they?ve made and believe me these guys have been around a while and deserve to be appreciated for what they?ve achieved. Anyways this song is mistakenly known as ?She?s Perfect? but it aint called that just so you don?t get confused. Anyways here?s the tab , enjoy it!!! Get into this band, they?re amazing.

She's perfect in her own way Shining, stepping off a silver train. Chorus Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth From the medicine that I can't keep down... Verse 2 She's amazing in her own way Always moving to a better place She's amazing in her own way Laughing, you won't get to her better traits* Chorus Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth From the medicine that I can't keep down... You know time heals nothing by itself I see that ever so clearly now Bridge 1 She looks a little bit different now Maybe a little bit softer round the eyes Bridge 2 The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center. Take it slow and make it softer. Easy likes it nice and steady. Chorus Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth From the medicine that I can't keep down... You know time heals nothing by itself I see that ever so clearly now
