Imploding The Mirage chords by The Killers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

C       G
 I was a timid Rockwellian boy
F           G
 She was tattooed and ready to deploy
C          G
 Gave me reservation and the like
F           G
 But she could be the dangerous type
C              G          F
 But I threw caution 'cause something about that yin and the yang
  G           Am   Em    F      G
 Was pushing my boundaries out beyond my imagining

Chorus:
        C           G         F
 While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause
    G
 I let go
         Am        Em
 While you were out there weighing odds
      F       G
 I was imploding the mirage
         C           G
 While you were out there looking like that
       F          G
 I struck my name from the camouflage
      Am        Em
 I wasn't lost in the collage
     F   G  Am   G   C
 I was imploding the mirage
     F  G     C
 I was imploding the mirage

C      F  G (x2)

Verse 2:
C         G
 I had to do it, I had no other choice
F              G
 You've got to listen to the inside voice
C          G
 A bullet train will get you there fast
F          G
 But it won't guarantee a long last
C           G             F
 Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage and doubt
   G          Am   Em     F   G
 To push your boundaries out beyond your imagining

Chorus:
        C           G         F
 While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause
    G
 I let go
        Am        Em
 While you were out there weighing odds
      F       G
 I was imploding the mirage
         C           G
 While you were out there looking like that
       F          G
 I struck my name from the camouflage
      Am        Em
 I wasn't lost in the collage
     F   G  Am   G   C
 I was imploding the mirage
     F  G     C
 I was imploding the mirage

Bridge:
   Am
 I was spellbound by the show
        E
 The matchless power of the glow
    C                D
 I was bound by golden shackles, getting by
         Am
 She tripped the breaker, blew the fuse
     E
 Doesn't need no pair of shoes
        Am       G       Fm
 Her wings have come, and she's ready for the sky

Chorus:
        C           G         F
 While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause
    G
 I let go
        Am         Em
 While you were out there weighing odds
      F       G
 I was imploding the mirage
        C            G
 While you were out there looking like that
        F        G
 I walked right out of the camouflage
      Am       Em
 I wasn't locked in no collage
      F   G   Am  G  C
 I was imploding the mirage
      F  G    C
 I was imploding the mirage


C     F  G (x4)
