The Killers


Tom: G

G                            Em                  Bm                      G
  The unknown distance to the great beyond stares back at my grieving frame 
G                          Em                 Bm                     G
  To cast my shadow by the holy sun my spirit moans with a sacred pain 
         G          Em     Bm                       G
And it's quiet now,    the universe is standing still

[Chorus 1]
        G                  Em         Bm                   G
There's nothing I can say,    there's nothing we can do now
        G                  Em         Bm                   G
There's nothing I can say,    there's nothing we can do now

[Fill]
G    Em   Bm   G

[Verse 2]
G                                 Em                   Bm                     G
  And all that stands between the soul’s release, this temporary flesh and bone
   G                        Em           Bm                     G
We know that it's over now,    I feel my faded mind begin to roam

[Bridge 1]
               G                       Em                 Bm                    G
Every time you fall and every time you try, every foolish dream and every compromise
               G                      Em                   Bm                    G
Every word you spoke & everything you said, everything you left me rambles in my head

[Chorus 2]
        G                  Em         Bm                  G
There's nothing I can say,    there's nothing I can do now
        G                  Em         Bm                  G
There's nothing I can say,    there's nothing I can do now

[Bridge 2]
G          G/F# Em       G/F#  Bm           Em           G/F#
Up above the    world so high
                   G                        Em               Bm                  G
And everything you loved and every time you try, everybody's watching, everybody cry
G                         Em                        Bm                 G
Stay, don't leave me, the stars can't wait for your sign, don't signal now

[Chorus 3]
            G                  Em         Bm                  G
And there's nothing I can say,    there's nothing I can do now
        G                  Em         Bm                   G
There's nothing I can say,    there's nothing we can do now

[Outro]
G      D/F#    G      D/A    G/B
  Good-night,     tra-vel well
     D/F#    G      D/A    G/B
Good-night,     tra-vel well
            D/F#               G    
And there's nothing I can say,   
                      D/A   G/B
There's nothing I can do now
       D/F#     G D/A 
Go tra-vel well
G/B   D/F#      G D/A
  Tra-vel well
    G/B
Tra-vel well
