A                G#
How hard can it be

To get a slap on the back from a room full of morons?
A                G#
So you hate my sunglasses?

Well your precious Leeds is dead Just so long as you know
A                G#
The clean and the green

Make up you're music scene

And shy away from the words that they've written for me Can't you see

Second Verse

  
A                      G#
You should leave it to me
    C#m                      **(see below)
We cover insignificant miles for a miniature bottle
A                   G#
Do you know what I mean?
C#m
I don't think so But we go for a smoke in the Smoke
A                 C
And I like what I see
C#m                                               *(see below)
It's a vicious cycle but who cares when it's happening to me?
A         G#
It's obscene
C#m
Can't you see
B
That?


** little guitar line after "miles for a miniature bottle". Just take off your 
little finger while playing C#m and move it to the 'e' string down from the 7th fret to the 6th fret (as tabbed below)

After this it goes back to the chorus played over and over.

Leather Jacket Love Song


This song is played with a capo on the third fret. The tab below is how to play it without one (the way I prefer!). It’s not note perfect but it’s near enough.

e|--------6----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------8------------8--------------4-------6-6-6-8-6-6----------|
G|---8-8------8------------8--------------5-----7-7-7-7-7-7----------|

D#                                 Cm
10 years old in 200 and 1 is long gone
D#                                                    Cm
So I didnt want to write another leather jacket love song
G#               A#                 D#
But you were a drug I couldn't hide from
G#               A#               D#
And I know, it's not the same for you


D#                                                 Cm
In truth you're a saving grace but you never knew what
D#                                                  Cm                      
If I was born at all, I knew I was always born to lose.
G#              A#                   D#
But you were a drug I couldn't hide from
G#                A#              D#
And I hope, it's not the same for you



Then these two descending notes right before ‘in the dark of your city……’

A|--6-5----|
E|---------|


Gm                  Cm
In the dark of your city
Fm                            A#
I wonder if you ever call my name
Gm                                         Cm
And in boxes and drawers, I'll hide our memories
Fm                               A#
In case I need to live my life again


Then back to the intro and verse again. I shall try and tab the solo so keep your eyes peeled!
