The Killers - Bling

Bling
Album: Sam's Town

Bm
I work on the roadside
G
In the land of the free ride
E
I can’t hold it any longer
Bm
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses
Like a stone on the water
The elements decide my fate

Pre-chorus:
G A
Watch it go… (Bling)

Chorus base chords are

D F#m
When I offer you survival
G
You say it’s hard enough to live
A F#m
Don’t tell me that it’s over
G
Stand up, poor and tired

But more than this
A F#m
How do you know that you’re right
G
If you’re not nervous anymore?
A F#m G
It’s not so bad, it’s not so bad



Lead on the chorus is the fun part, played 4 times

Back to verse:

I feel my vision slipping out of focus
But I’m pushing on for that horizon
I’m pushing on
Now I’ve got that blowin’ wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the riptide
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a hook- quite strange
I get my glory in the desert rain
Watch it go.. (when I offer you survival) Bling

Chorus:

When I offer you survival
You say it’s hard enough to live
I’ll tell you when it’s over
Shut up- poor and tired but
More than this

How do you know that you’re right
If you’re not nervous anymore?
It’s not so bad, it’s not so bad

Ending bit:

D
Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it

Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
G A Bm F#m
Out of the fire
G A
Higher and higher
D
Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it

Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
G A Bm F#m
Out of the fire
G A
Higher and higher
D
Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
Gmaj7
Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
G A Bm F#m
Out whoa oh oh
G A D
Higher and Higher

Strum distorted D

G A Bm
It ain’t hard to hold
F#m G
When it shines like gold
A D
You’ll remember me
