Hightide Hotel is amazing, and I feel like I should help out and put some tabs up on
here to get people started, even if they aren't 100% correct.
I've played along to the song itself, it sounds pretty accurate, I'm not too sure about
the exact chords David uses at the end, but it's close enough.
This should be the jist of it, if you have any corrections, please let me know and I
will update the tab.
This also sounds great acoustic.
Please share this/post elsewhere, just please give me credit.

For the rest of the song I am unsure about the exact chords, but I play these (you can
figure out the rhythm):
"I don't want you to answer my next call..."
e- -2-----2-----0---------------------------------------|
B- -3-----3-----3---------------------------------------|
G- -4-----2-----0---------------------------------------|
D- -----------------------------------------------------|
A- -----------------------------------------------------|
E- -----------------------------------------------------|
Then I kind of repeat that throughout the end. You can maybe also throw in the chords
from the second verse onwards as well.
Lyrics:
I was sitting on the lawn with a wide-eye to the sun like a dead fish in a big pond.
And as I gasped for air, I wondered where you were through the water and the murky dirt.
It didn't help at all that I'm the one you called.
It doesn't help me like I know it helps you.
Just wait, someday soon we'll be buried in the same tomb, the earth will cover us like a bruise.
The bed quakes with my weight.
The bed doesn't know that you're gone.
The bed is lucky it doesn't know you the way that I do.
And I don't want you to answer my next call.
It would just upset you.
And I won't, I won't.
And I don't, I don't.
I'll stay up all night again, all night again.
