The Way It Was Tab par The Killers (Accords Baryton)

[Intro]

G - Em - Bm - C - D (x2)


[Verse 1]

G                      Em         Bm    C  D
  I drove through the desert last night
G                Em                 Bm    C  D
  I carried the weight of our last fight
 G                      Em                  Bm
Elvis singing "Don't be Cruel" and I wonder if you feel it too
      C                D
It's like we're going under.
Em                        Am                      Bm
   Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,
                    C                 D
The question of my heart came to my mind:


[Chorus]

        C        G
If I go on with you by my side,
       C   G       D             C
Can it be the way it was when we met?
          G                     D
Did you forget all about those golden nights?


[Verse 2]

G             Em               Bm    C  D
  Maybe if thieves stole your heart
G             Em            Bm
  Or maybe we just drifted apart.
     C       D
I remember driving 
G               Em                    Bm
  In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood, 
 C                 D
Backs against the windshield.
Em                           Am                            Bm
   Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust.
                   C            D
That paradise is buried in the dust.


[Chorus]

        C        G
If I go on with you by my side,
       C   G       D             C
Can it be the way it was when we met?
          G                     D
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was)


[Bridge]

Am                                Em
   All of our plans are falling through.
Am                                   D  C
   Sometimes a dream, it don't come true.


[Instrumental]

C - G - D (x2)


[Verse 3]

    C     G
Darling. Darling
                    C
(If we go on can it be)
       C   G      D               C
Can it be the way it was when we met?
          G                     D
Did you forget all about them golden nights?


[Chorus]

        C        G
If I go on with you by my side,
       C   G      D
Can it be the way it was?
             C                G
My heart is true, girl, it's just you
             D 
I'm thinking of
       C              G
Can it be the way it was?


[Outro]

Em - Bm - C - D

G         Em               Bm   C  D
 (Maybe thieves stole your heart.)

G - Em - Bm - C - D (x2)
