[Verse]
B/F# A E E
two jumps in a week i bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy.
B/F# A E E
flying on your motorcycle. watching all the ground beneath you drop.
B/F# A E E
you'd kill yourself for recognition. kill yourself to never ever stop.
B/F# A E E
you broke another mirror. you're turning into something you are not.
[Chorus]
B/F# A E E
don't lead me high, don't lead me dry,
B/F# A E E
don't lead me high, don't lead me dry.
B/F# A E E
[Verse]
B/F# A E E
drying up in conversation you will be the one who cannot talk.
B/F# A E
all your insides fall to pieces. you just sit there wishing you could still make love.
B/F# A E
they're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out.
B/F# A E E
they're the ones who'll spit at you. you will be the one screaming out.
[Chorus]
B/F# A E E
don't lead me high, don't lead me dry,
B/F# A E E
don't lead me high, don't lead me dry.
B/F# A E E
B/F# A E E
[Verse]
B/F# A E E
it's the best thing that you ever had. the best thing that you ever ever had.
B/F# A E E
it's the best thing that you ever had. the best thing that you had has gone away.
[Chorus]
B/F# A E E
don't lead me high, don't lead me dry,
B/F# A E E
don't lead me high, don't lead me dry.
B/F# A E E
don't lead me high,
B/F# A E
don't lead me high, don't leave me dry.
