I saw my favorite Killers tune doesn?t appear to be out there yet, 
so I jotted it down.

Tuning: Standard

Coming out of ?When You Were Young? we are in F# for a moment with the synth,
Then it shifts up to Bm.

First part- you?ll have to listen to the record to get the timing right. Flowers
plays this little fill on the keys that you can hear, for instance, right 
after the word ?survival,? which is doubled by the electric guitar.



e | -------------------------------- | 
B | --+12---10---------------------- | 
G | ---------7?--7-ring------------- | 
D | -------------(b9)----------------- | 
A | -------------------------------- | 
E | -------------------------------- | 

After the last one, right before ?How do you know?

e | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
B | ----------------------------5-ring----------------------------------------- | 
G | ---7--6?4-(piano)--------7------------------------------------------------- | 
D | ------------------------7-------------------------------------------------- | 
A | ------------------------7-------------------------------------------------- | 
E | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 


?That you?re right?

(Strum ) B5  A5   G5 


That?s the intro

Lyrics are:

When I offer you survival

You say it?s hard enough to live

It?s not so bad, It?s not so bad

How do you know that you?re right?

From this point on there are two guitars in the mix, one acoustic and one electric,

With the acoustic playing the basic chords and the electric fiddling around with

The same chords farther up the neck.

Chords are


B5
I work on the roadside
       G5
In the land of the free ride
        E5
I can?t hold it any longer
    B5
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil

Left a trail of excuses

Like a stone on the water

The elements decide my fate

Pre-chorus:
         G5   A5 
Watch it go? (Bling)

Chorus base chords are


D5                F#5
When I offer you survival
G5
You say it?s hard enough to live
A5             F#5  
Don?t tell me that it?s over
      G5
Stand up, poor and tired

But more than this
A5               F#5
How do you know that you?re right
              G5
If you?re not nervous anymore?
A5           F#5              G5 
It?s not so bad, it?s not so bad



Lead on the chorus is the fun part, played 4 times

Back to verse:

I feel my vision slipping out of focus
But I?m pushing on for that horizon
I?m pushing on
Now I?ve got that blowin? wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the riptide
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a hook- quite strange
I get my glory in the desert rain
Watch it go.. (when I offer you survival) Bling

Chorus:

When I offer you survival
You say it?s hard enough to live
I?ll tell you when it?s over
Shut up- poor and tired but
More than this

How do you know that you?re right
If you?re not nervous anymore?
It?s not so bad, it?s not so bad

Ending bit:

D5
Higher and higher, we?re gonna take it

Down to the wire, we?re gonna make it
G5          A5 B5  F#5
Out of the fire
G5          A5
Higher and higher
D5
Higher and higher, we?re gonna take it

Down to the wire, we?re gonna make it
G5          A5 B5  F#5
Out of the fire
G5          A5
Higher and higher
D5 
Higher and higher, we?re gonna take it
G5
Down to the wire, we?re gonna make it
G5   A5    B5 F#5
Out whoa oh oh
G5          A5   D5 
Higher and Higher

Strum distorted D


G5        A5       B5 
It ain?t hard to hold
        F#5         G5
When it shines like gold
         A5      D5  
You?ll remember me

Finis.
