Originally released at October 2nd 2006 as part of the Killers' second album "Sam't Town". Although this track wasn't released as a single, it is a fan favourite, being one of the 10 most played songs in concerts throughout the whole Killer's timeline. A simple melody accompanied by a powerful guitar delivery by Dave Koermer and the usual sentimental breakdown midline.

Bm
  When I offer you survival

G
 You say it's hard enough to live

Em                             G
  It's not so bad, it's not so bad

A                Bm                 G  A 
 How do you know that you're right?

VERSE I

   Bm
I awoke on the roadside

       G
In the land of the free ride

            Em
And I can't pull it any longer

    Bm
The sun is beating down my neck

     Bm
So I ran with the devil

       G
Left a trail of excuses

       Em
Like a stone on the water

    Bm
The elements decide my fate

         G    D    A      D
Watch it go . . . "bling"

CHORUS

Bm                A
When I offer you survival

G
You say it's hard enough to live

A                  D
Don't tell me that it's over

        G
Stand up, Poor and tired but more than this

A               D
How do you know that you're right?

              G
If you're not nervous anymore

A           D                G
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

VERSE II

                          Bm
I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus

        G
But I'm pushing on for that horizon

            Em
I'm pushing on

                 Bm
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide

     G
Am I wrong or am I right?

          Em
I hit the bottom with a "huh!" - Quite strange

         Bm
I get my glory in the desert rain

         G    D    A      D
Watch it go . . . "bling"

CHORUS

Bm                A
When I offer you survival

G
You say it's hard enough to live

A                  D
Don't tell me that it's over

        G
Stand up, poor and tired but more than this

A               D
How do you know that you're right?

              G
If you're not nervous anymore

A           D                G
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

BRIDGE

D
Higher and higher

We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it

G          A    D  Bm
Out of the fire

G          A      D
Higher and higher

D
Higher and higher

We're gonna take it Down to the wire

We're gonna make it out
G    A  D  Bm
Whoa-oh-oh-oh! 

G          A      D
Higher and higher

OUTRO

G        A       Bm
It ain't hard to hold

        F#m         G
When it shines like gold

         A      D
You'll remember me
