243. WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG - THE KILLERS
🔙 ✏️

[Intro]
1x chords
2x hook line (which is 1x chords)

[Verse]
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

[Bridge I]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined

[Chorus (hook or chords)]
When you were young

[Verse]
Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

[Bridge II]
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning

[Chorus (hook or chords)]
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
