[Verse 1]
 
F#m7add11                       Asus2                               E     Esus4   E
Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy.
F#m7add11                   Asus2                              E        Esus4   E
Flying on your motorcycle. Watching all the ground beneath you drop.
      F#m7add11                      Asus2                        E     Esus4   E
You'd kill yourself for recognition. Kill yourself to never ever stop.
    F#m7add11                     Asus2                         E      Esus4   E
You broke another mirror. You're turning into something you are not.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              F#m7add11 Asus2                E
Don't leave me high,     don't leave me dry,
              F#m7add11 Asus2                E
Don't leave me high,     don't leave me dry.

F#m7add11                   Asus2                          E        Esus4   E
Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk.
F#m7add11                         Asus2                                       E          Esus4  E
All your insides fall to pieces. You just sit there wishing you could still make love.
 
F#m7add11                                  Asus2                             E         Esus4   E
They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out.
F#m7add11                             Asus2                        E      Esus4   E
They're the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              F#m7add11 Asus2                E
Don't leave me high,     don't leave me dry,
              F#m7add11 Asus2                E
Don't leave me high,     don't leave me dry.

It's the best thing that you ever had.  The best thing that you ever, ever had.
         F#m7add11                     Asus2                               E        Esus4   E
It's the best thing that you ever had. The best thing that you had has gone away.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              F#m7add11 Asus2             E
Don't leave me high,     don't leave me dry,
              F#m7add11 Asus2             E
Don't leave me high,     don't leave me dry.
              F#m7add11 Asus2
Don't leave me high,
              F#m7add11 Asus2             E
Don't leave me high,     don't leave me dry.

I would actually add the E-Esus4-E-Esus4 each time there is a E chord at the end of a phrase ;-)

Timing is a little off, but nothing that cant be fixed playing to the tempo. Pretty good.

Good job, this tab sounds pretty much right aside from what the previous commenters mentioned. Also the lyrics are dont leave me high, dont leave me dry, not dont lead me high, dont lead me dry. im pretty sure at least, as i did'nt write them.
