I bet you think that's pretty clever
MI
don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle
watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror,
you're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing
you could still make love
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry...
Solo: (on a single string)
B-5-5-4-5-5--4-5-5--4-5s7s5-4--5-5-4-5-5-2-0----2---4-
B-5-5-4-5-5--4-5-5--4-5s7s5-4--5-5-4-5-5-2-0----------
It's the best thing that you ever had,
best thing that you ever ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing you ever had is going away
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry...
Okay, this is pretty accurate, I took the chords that Gene listed and
put them to the lyrics, figuring out the exact changes and the strumming
pattern. It sounds almost perfect when I play along to my CD and it
works well enough.
Strumming pattern:
e---------------------- (only strum for the D chord)
B----------x-----------
G----------x-----------
D---x-x----x-----------
A---x-x----x----------- (for the D chord, don't play this string...)
E--don't play----------
(4 of the above strums equals what you should play for
each chord when it changes)
(on the D/A/D change play 2 strums D, then 2 strums A, then 4 strums D)
Start strumming A for the intro, come in with
the lyrics on the second strum of the pattern)
LA FA#m
Her green plastic watering can
MI RE
For her fake chinese rubber plant
LA RE
In the fake plastic earth
LA FA#m
That she bought from a rubber man
MI RE
In a town full of rubber plants
LA RE
To get rid of itself
SIm
It wears her out..
LA
It wears her out..
SIm
It wears her out..
LA
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out..
It wears him out..
It wears him out..
It weeeeeaaaars
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time..
All the time..
A (with more energy)
F#m (with more energy)

they love me like i was a brother

they dug me my very own garden
MI
gave me sunshine, made me happy.
SIm MI LA
nice dream, nice dream, nice dream.
i call up my friend the good angel
but she's out with her answerphone
she says she would love to come help but
the sea would electrocute us all.
SIm MI LA FA#m
nice dream, nice dream, nice dream, nice dream

Didn't figure out any more of this song..... YET!
Lyrics:
can't get the stink off,
he's been hanging round for days.
comes like a comet,
suckered you but not your friends.
one day he'll get to you,
teach you how to be a holy cow.
don't get my sympathy
hanging out the 15th floor.
you've changed the lock 3 times,
he still comes reeling through the door.
and soon he'll get to you,
teach you how to get to purest hell.
you do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts is
you do it to yourself just you,
you and no-one else
you do it to yourself.
my iron lung

bullet proof..i wish i was
Verse: C Bm G D
limb by limb and tooth by tooth
tearing up inside of me
everyday everyhour wish that I was bullet proof
wax me, mould me,
heat the pins and stab them in
you have turned me into this
just wish that it was bullet proof
Chorus SOL RE DO
bullet proof
so pay me money and take a shot
lead-fill the hole in me
i could burst a million bubbles
all surrogate and
bullet proof
bullet proof
Its in 3 BTW
RE
You bite through the big wall
RE
The Big wall bites back
RE
You sit there and
DO SOL
sulk
RE
Sit there and ball.
(pre-chorus and chorus)
RE
SOL DO
Sometime you sulk,
RE
sometime ya burn
SOL DO
God rest you soul...
For the end of the song (last chorus) we go up a tone to A-D-E for the
chorus
street spirit [fade out]
This just has three really easy picking patterns in it, plus a few bits
over the top which I can't be bothered to work out...
