The Killers - Terrible Thing: chords

     D#             A#                  D#
The parking lot is rammed with shotgun pickup trucks
        G#                               D#
At the Jones Rubber plant where all the guys end up
G#                                         D#
Beer-drinking boy scouts living life like they ain't stuck
         Cm               A#                       G#
On these quicksand streets  with their girls in a sling
          Cm             A#                   D#
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing

Around here, we all take up our cross and hang on His holy name
But the cards that I was dealt will get you thrown out of the game
Hey, mama, can't you see your boy is wrapped up in the strangle silk
Of this cobweb town where culture is king?
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing

Chorus:
           G#  Cm                 D#
I close my eyes  and think of the water
           G#        Cm            A#
Out at the Salt Creek  when I was young

Down at Old Mill Park, half the town's in tow
To crown the bathing beauty of the rodeo
While her mother fights back proud tears, a young cowboy gives the nod
The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God
The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God

        Cm              A#                G#
In this barbed wire town  of barbed wire dreams
          Cm             A#                   D#
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing

Chorus:
I close my eyes and think of the water
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
I close my eyes and think of the water
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
