The Killers - The way it was

^E I drove through the d^C#mesert last ^G#mnight ^{A B E} I carried the w^C#meight of our last f^G#might ^{A B} E^Elvis singing "Don'^C#mt be Cruel" and^G#m I wonder if you feel it too It's l^Aike we're going u^Bnder. ^C#m Somewhere outside the l^F#monely Esmeralda County l^G#mine, The question of my h^Aeart came to my mi^Bnd:

If I go ^Aon with y^Eou by my side, Can it ^Abe t^Ehe way i^Bt was when we ^Amet? Did you fo^Erget all about those g^Bolden nights?

^E Maybe if thi^C#meves stole your h^G#meart ^{A B E} Or maybe we ^C#mjust drifted a^G#mpart. I rem^Aember dr^Biving ^E In my daddy's ^C#mcar to the airfield, b^G#mlanket on the hood, B^Aacks against the w^Bindshield. ^C#m Back then this thing was r^F#munning on momentum, love and t^G#mrust. That paradise is bu^Aried in the d^Bust.

If I go ^Aon with y^Eou by my side, Can it ^Abe t^Ehe way i^Bt was when we ^Amet? Did you fo^Erget all about those g^Bolden nights? (The way it was, it was)

^F#m All of our plans are falling th^C#mrough. ^F#m Sometimes a dream, it don't come t^Bru^Ae.

Darl^Aing. D^Earling (If we go on can it ^Abe) Can it ^Abe t^Ehe way ^Bit was when we m^Aet? Did you fo^Erget all about them go^Blden nights?

If I go ^Aon with y^Eou by my side, Can it ^Abe t^Ehe way ^Bit was? My heart is t^Arue, girl, it's j^Eust you I'm thinking ^Bof Can it ^Abe the way it w^Eas?
