Joseph Better You Than Me chords by The Killers

Joseph, Better you than me-The Killers and Elton John and Neil Tennant


E                  A   E
Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
E                A   C#m
Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph
     E    A      E    B
There's a pale moonshine above you
      E    A      E     B
Do you see both sides, do they shove you around

    E             A   E
Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph
    E         A   C#m
Are the rumours eating you alive, Joseph

E       A       E    B
When the holy night is upon you
     E     A     E      B
Will you do what's right, the position is yours

     G   C      G    C
From the temple walls to the New York night
  G     D    C
Our decisions rest on a child
     G    C       G     C
When she took her stand did she hold your hand
     G      D      C
Will your faith stand still or run away
G
Run away

       E       A
When they've driven you so far
     E          A
That you think you're gonna drop
    E       A        C#m    (B)
Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop

     E       A
With the plane and the lathe
     E        B
The work never drove you mad
     E    A
You're a maker, a creator
     (E)    B
Not just somebody's dad

     G   C      G    C
From the temple walls to the New York night
   G    D    C
Our decisions rest on a man
    G    C
When I take the stand
    G    C
Will he hold my hand
     G     D    C
Will my faith stand still or run away

E
(Run Awaaaayyyy)

    A
And the desert
    B            E
It's a hell of a place to find heaven
A            B           E
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God
A               B
And you climb to the top of the mountain
          E          A
Looking down on the city where you were born

On the years since you left
B
Gave you time to sit back and reflect

E     A
Better you than me
E     A
Better you than me
E     A
Better you than me
Yes
     E  A    E   B
Well the holy night is upon you
    E    A       E     B
Do you see both sides, do they shove you around

Just continue E A E B as elton jams until the final line and finish on

     E             A   E
Well your eyes just havent been the same, Joseph
