The Killers

When You Were Young

          E            F#  G#m
You sit there in your heartache
        B                  E
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
    E         F#           G#m
To save you from your old ways
             B
You play forgiveness
 E
Watch it now here he comes

        E                         F#   G#m
    He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
            B
    But he talks like a gentlemen
     E
    Like you imagined 
                  F#    G#m
    When you were young

 E
Can we climb this mountain
    F#    G#m
I don’t know
 B                      E
Higher now than ever before
E                            F#      G#m
I know we can make it if we take it slow
 B
Let’s take it easy
 E   
Easy now, watch it go

     E                              F#  G#m
    We’re burning down the highway skyline
            B
    On the back of a hurricane
      E
    That started turning
                  F#    G#m  B  E
    When you were young
                  F#    G#m  B  E
    When you were young
	
     E              F#       G#m
And sometimes you close your eyes
              B                      E
And see the place where you used to live
              F#    G#m  B  E
When you were young

E  F#  G#m  B  E

                C#m 
  They say the devil’s water, it ain’t so sweet
       E                         G#m
  You don’t have to drink right now
               D#m      G#m
  But you can dip your feet
  F#m                     E  F# G#m B E
  Every once in a little while
  
E  F#  G#m  B  E

          E            F#  G#m
You sit there in your heartache
        B                  E
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
    E         F#           G#m
To save you from your old ways
             B
You play forgiveness

    But he talks like a gentlemen

    When you were young

    When you were young

     F#      G#m                       B  E
  I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
   F# G#m                       B  E
  He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
             E         D#m    C#m B A#m G#m F#
  But more than you’ll ever know
