When You Were Young The Killers
I understand that some people who don't have access to a capo (makeshift or
otherwise!) would like to play this song, so here's my version. The album version
is tuned a half step down, but you can choose whether or not you'd like to play it that way.

WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
SAM'S TOWN
THE KILLERS
2006
[F]You sit there in your [G]heart[Am]ache
[C]Waiting on some [F]beautiful boy to
[F]save you from you[G]r old [Am]ways
[C]You play forgiveness
[F]Watch it now ... here he comes!
[F]He doesn't look a thing like [G]Jes[Am]us
But he[C] talks like a gentleman
[F]Like you imagined when you were [G]you[Am]ng [C] [F]
[F]Can we climb this mountain
[G]I don't [Am]know
[C]Higher now than e[F]ver before
[F]I know we can make it if we [G]take it [Am]slow
[C]Let's take it easy
[F]Easy now, watch it go
[F]We're burning down the highway [G]skyl[Am]ine
On the [C]back of a hurricane that started turning
When [F]you were [G]you[Am]ng [C] [F]
When [F]you were [G]you[Am]ng [C] [F]
And [F]sometimes you close your [G]eyes
and [Am]see the [C]place where you used to [F]live
[F]When you were [G]you[Am]ng [C] [F]
Filler*: F Em Dm C Am (Bm) G
They say the [Dm]devil's water, it ain't so sweet
[Dm]You don't have to drink right [Am]now
Am (C?)
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little [F]while
[F] [G] [Am] [C] [F]
[F]You sit there in your [G]hear[Am]tache
[C]Waiting on some [F]beautiful boy to
[F]To save you from your o[G]ld w[Am]ays
[C]You play forgiveness
[F]Watch it now here he comes
[F]He doesn't look a thing like [G]Jes[Am]us
But he [C]talks like a gentleman
[F]Like you imagined when you w[G]ere y[Am]oung
[C](He talks like a gentlemen,[F] like you imagined when)
[F]When you [G]were y[Am]oung [C] [F]
[F]I said he doesn't look a thing like [Am]Jesu[G]s [C] [F]
[F]He doesn't look a thing like [Am]Jesu[G]s [C] [F]
But more than you'll ever k[F]now[Em] [Dm] [C] [(Bm)] [Am] [G]
* I made the Bm chord in the filler optional. It's how it's supposed to be
played, but if like me you find the transitions harder with the Bm in there, then
leave it out. It's fine either way :)
I'm also open to any corrections, but I'm fairly sure that this is around 98%
accurate. Thanks for playing this!
