Chords

My first attempt at a Killers song chords
Am
You're looking for a way out

              Em     G    Am 
I can feel it

Am
Come on, show me where it hurts

                     Em     G    Am 
Maybe I can heal it

Am
Your feelings are your own

                                    Em     G    Am 
Now you keep 'em under lock and key

Am     
You got me drivin' through the streets

                             Em     G    Am 
For an answer to the mystery

    C             G                  G
The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue

   C          G                G
Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you

  C                 G
Laughing with your girlfriends

       G                        G     G       Am      
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind

Am
It was a matter of time

Am
There's a panic in this house 

                          Em     G    Am 
and it's bound to surface

Am
Just walkin' through the front door 

                Em      G    Am
makes me nervous

Am
It's creepin' up the floorboards,

                               Em      G    Am                  
got me wondering where I stand

Am
I cannot put out the fire,

                                   Em      G    Am
I got a book of matches in my hand

C             G                   G
When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt

C                         G                     G
Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out

      C                  G             G                   G
I was fallin' back on forever when you told me about your heart

            G       Am 
You laid it on the line

C                  G
Laughing with your girlfriends

       G                       G      G   C
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
(You laid it on the line)
C              G               G    G    C
It was just a matter, It was a matter of time

   C                 G 
We found ourselves a place

       G           C
We belong in it forever

           G              G
Ain't that what it's all about?

         C                G
Make the promise and keep it

     G               C
Come hell or high water

      G   G      C
We'd figure it out

           C                 G
It was the night, it was the moon

           G                  C
It was the green grass in the garden

    C               G
The victory and the sin

C                    G
I know you're weary, look at me

G               C
Flailin' in the corner

           C
Here's the towel

G               C
Go on, throw it in

C        G         C
It was a matter of time

C                       G               G
Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside?

C                          G
Look what's laying at our feet

           C                   G
That's the wreckage of broken dreams

    G                      G
And burned out

C             G       C
And it's here on our street
