The Killers - Joseph, Better You Than Me (feat. Elton John & Neil Tennant): chords

            E                          A     E
Well, your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
                                 A     C#m
Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph?
           B            A    E/G#    B
There's a pale moon - shine above you,
       E/G#     C#m              A         B
Do you see both sides? Do they shove you around?

Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph?
Are the rumors eating you alive, Joseph?
When the holy night is upon you
Will you do what's right? The position is yours

Chorus:
B         G      C            G/D      C/E
From the temple walls to the New York night,
    G/B        D          C
Our decisions rest on a child.
          G         C
When she took her stand,
        G/B       C/E
Did she hold your hand?
          G/B           D            C
Will your faith stand still or run away,
      G
Run away?

When they've driven you so far
That you think you're gonna drop
Do you wish you were back there
At the carpenter shop?

With the plane and the lathe
The work never drove you mad
You're a maker, a creator
Not just somebody's dad

Chorus

E        A
And the desert,
        B                       E    C#m
It's a hell of a place to find heaven
 A                       B                     C#m
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God
          A                     B
And you climb to the top of the mountain
                      E
Looking down on the city,
      F#/A#     A
Where you were born
                                       B
All the years since you left gave you time
to sit back and reflect

E       A         E/G#       B
Better you than me, (better you than me)
E       A         E/G#  B
Better you than me,    yeah
          E    A        E/G#             B
When the holy night is upon you (Better you, better you)
        E        A              E/G#       B        E
Do you see both sides? Do they shove you around?
        A            E/G# B
Better you than me, Joseph,
        E                    A
Better you than me, (better you than me)
E/G#     E       A
Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph
     E/G#
Than me,
        B
Better you than me
E       A
Better you than me
       E/G#          B
Better you, better you than me
            E
Well, your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
