BLING ( CONFESSIONS OF A KING ) THE KILLERS
Intro ( plaid slowly )
Bm
When I offer you survival
G
You say it’s hard enough to live
E G A
It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
Bm G A
How do you know that you’re right?
Verse ( regular rock rhythm )
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
Bm
So I ran with the devil
G
Left a trail of excuses
E
Like a stone on the water
Bm
The elements decide my fate
G A
Watch it go … BLING!
CHORUS:
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
Bm
I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus
G
But I’m pushing on for that horizon
E
I’m pushing on
Bm
Now I’ve got that blowin’ wind against my face
Bm
So you sling rocks at the riptide
G
Am I wrong or am I right?
E
I hit the bottom with a hook- quite strange
Bm
I get my glory in the desert rain
G A
Watch it go.. (when I offer you survival) BLING!
CHORUS:
D F#m
When I offer you survival
G
You say it’s hard enough to live
A F#m
I'll tell you when it’s over
G
Shut 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

Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it

Out of the fire

Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
