The Killers - Desperate Things

[Intro]
Gadd9 Csus2
(2x)

[Verse 1]
G Csus2
She was doing 60 in a 35
Gadd9
I hit the lights and pulled her over
Csus2
When I reached the window of the driver side
G
There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
Gadd9 Csus2
I’ve never had much patience for guys that hit
G
For more than just obvious reasons
Gadd9 Csus2
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
G
She laughed it off like lemonade

[Chorus]
Em7 Gadd9 D/F#
When you’re in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Em7 Am7
You’ll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Csus2 Dsus2 Em7
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
Csus2 Dsus2 Gadd9 Csus2
People do despe—rate things

[Verse 2]
G Csus2
I’ve been taking lunch breaks at her work
G
When the restaurant ain’t too crowded
Csus2
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
Gadd9
We don’t talk too much about it
Csus2
The other night she met me way out west
Gadd9
Things went further than they should have
Csus2
But when she undid the buttons of her dress
G
I didn’t stop her, but I could have

[Chorus]
Em7 Gadd9 D/F#
When you’re in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Em7 Am9
You’ll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Csus2 Dsus2 Em7
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
Csus2 Dsus2 Gadd9 Csus2
People do despe—rate things

[Verse 3]
G Csus2
I know where he drinks most every night
G
It’s our local hero sports bar
Csus2
I’ve got him cuffed and sweating cold
G
In the back of my patrol car
Csus2
You forget how dark the canyon gets
G
It’s a real uneasy feeling
Csus2
I’ve never had much patience for guys who hit
G
For more than just obvious reasons

[Chorus]
Em7 Gadd9 D/F#
When you’re in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
Em7 Am7
You’ll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Csus2 Dsus2 Em7
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
Csus2 Dsus2 Gadd9 Csus2
People do despe—rate things

[Ending]
