The Way It Was - The Killers chords

Key: E Singer/Band: The Killers


[Intro]
[E] [-] [C#m] [-] [G#m] [-] [A] [-] [B] [(x2)]
[Verse1]
[E] I drove through the [C#m]desert last [G#m]night [A] [B]
[E] I carried the [C#m]weight of our last [G#m]fight [A] [B]
[E]Elvis singing "Don't be [C#m]
Cruel" and I wonder [G#m]if you feel it too
It's [A]like we're going [B]under.
[C#m] Somewhere outside the [F#m]lonely Esmeralda County [G#m]line,
The question of my [A]heart came to my [B]mind:
[Chorus]
If I go [A]on with [E]you by my side,
Can it [A]be [E]the way [B]it was when we [A]met?
Did you [E]forget all about those [B]golden nights?
[Verse2]
[E] Maybe if [C#m]thieves stole your [G#m]heart [A] [B]
[E] Or maybe we [C#m]just drifted [G#m]apart.
I [A]remember [B]driving
[E] In my daddy's [C#m]car to the airfield, [G#m]blanket on the hood,
[A]Backs against the [B]windshield.
[C#m] Back then this thing was [F#m]r
unning on momentum, love and [G#m]trust.
That paradise is [A]buried in the [B]dust.
[Chorus]
If I go [A]on with [E]you by my side,
Can it [A]be [E]the way [B]it was when we [A]met?
Did you [E]forget all about those [B]golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)
[Bridge]
[F#m] All of our plans are falling [C#m]through.
[F#m] Sometimes a dream, it don't come [B]t[A]rue.
[Instrumental]
[A] [-] [E] [-] [B] [(x2)]
[Verse3]
[A]Darling. [E]Darling
(If we go on can it [A]be)
Can it [A]be [E]the way [B]it was when we [A]met?
Did you [E]forget all about them [B]golden nights?
[Chorus]
If I go [A]on with [E]you by my side,
Can it [A]be [E]the way [B]it was?
My heart is [A]true, girl, it's [E]just you
I'm thinking [B]of
Can it [A]be the way it [E]was?
[Outro]
[C#m] [-] [G#m] [-] [A] [-] [B]
[E] (Maybe [C#m]thieves stole your [G#m][A]heart.) [B]
[E] [-] [C#m] [-] [G#m] [-] [A] [-] [B] [(x2)]
