Only the Young by Brandon Flowers

Verse 1:

D                A        D               A 
    Look back in silence,   the cradle of your whole life.
D                A         Bm   
    There in the distance,    loosing its greatest pride.
D                A       D           A
    Nothing is easy,      nothing is sacred. Why?
D                A          Bm
    Where did the bow break?   It happened before your time.


Pre-Chorus:

           D                              A           Amaj7
There were people there, lovely as you've ever been.
F#m                    E
Tonight.  Baby you can start again.
                D                        A            Amaj7
Laughing in the open air; have yourself another dream.
F#m                   E
Tonight. Baby we can start again.


Chorus

D                  A           Amaj7
Only the young can break away, break away
F#m                        G
Lost when the wind blows, on your own, ohh
D                  A           Amaj7
Only the young can break away, break away
F#m                       G
Lost when the wind blows, on your own, ohh


Interlude:

D   A  Amaj7,  F#m   E      X2 


Verse 2

D          A         D           A       Amaj7
Mother its cold here. Father thy will be done.
D           A   Amaj7               F#m
Thunder and lightening crashing down.
F#m                    E     E6               D
They got me on the run, direct me to the sun.
D                  A         Amaj7     F#m 
Redemption keep my covers clean tonight.
            E
Baby we can start again.
