The What It Was chords by The Killers

Intro: E C#m G#m A B

E         C#m      G#m  A B
 I drove through the desert last night.
E       C#m        G#m  A B
 I carried the weight of our last fight.
E              C#m      G#m
Elvis singing 'Don?t be Cruel? and I wonder if you feel it too.
   A     B
It?s like we?re going under.

C#m            F#m             G#m
  Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line,
             A          B
  The question of my heart came to my mind

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

E    C#m         G#m  A B
 Maybe if thieves stole your heart
E      B      C#m
 or maybe we just drifted apart.
A     B   E      C#m
I remember driving in my daddy?s car to the airfield,
G#m         A         B
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield.

C#m            F#m                 G#m
  Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust.
          A         B
  That paradise is buried in the dust.

A      E
If I go on with you by my side,
    C#m   B B  A A    A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
     E           B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
(The way it was, it was.)

F#m              C#m   G#m
All of our plans are falling through.
F#m               B
Sometimes a dream, it don?t come true.

A C#m B
A E B

  A   E
Darling. Darling
               C#m   B B  A A    A
(If we go on can it be)Can it be the way it was when we met?
     E           B
Did you forget all about those golden nights?

    A    E
If I go on with you by my side,
    C#m   B B  A A    A
Can it be the way it was when we met?
           E
My heart is true, girl, it's just you
       B              E
I'm thinking of, Can it be the way it was?

(C#m G#m A B)
