Chords with lyrics
TRANQUILIZE THE KILLERS
(Note: actual song is played with all strings tuned town one semitone - Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb
DmDm
Time it tells livin' in my hometown
Wedding bells they begin easy
Live it down, baby dont talk that much
Baby knows that baby don't tease me
FF
In the park we could go walking
Bb majorBb
Down in the dark we could go sailing
DmDm
On the sea-ea
DmDm
Always here, always on time close call.
Was it love or was it just easy
Money talks when people need shoes and socks
Steady boys I think that she needs me
FF
I was just sippin on something sweet
Bb majorBb
I don't need political process
Prechorus:
D5D5 Asus4Asus4
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
Dm/F Gm*
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more
D5D5 Asus4Asus4
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
Dm/F Gm*
But it's been getting to me all this time
A5A5
And don't stop dragging me down
Chorus 1:
FF C majorC DmDm Bb majorBb
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
FF C majorC DmDm A augmentedA
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm
And sometimes I'm a travelin' but tonight
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC
This engines failing
(play notes on Bass A augmentedA string (5th) over next line)
And I still hear the children playing
DmDm
Kick the can, kick the can skip and blackjack,
Steal a car and ring around rosie
Rock and roll, candyland, boogieman,
Run away and give me your sneakers
DmDm
Acid rain when Abel looked up at Cain
We began weeping and a-wailin'
Hurry high from pestilence pills and pride
It's a shame we could have gone sailing
FF Bb majorBb
But Heaven knows, Heaven knows everything...tranquilize
Prechorus:
D5D5 Asus4Asus4
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
Dm/F Gm*
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more
D5D5 Asus4Asus4
See I was thinkin' that I lost my mind
Dm/F Gm*
But it's been getting to me all this time
A5A5
And don't stop dragging me down
Chorus:
FF C majorC DmDm Bb majorBb
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
FF C majorC DmDm A augmentedA
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
Bb majorBb C majorC
And sometimes I'm a travelin' but tonight
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC
This engines failing
(play notes on Bass E MajorE and A augmentedA strings (6th and 5th) over next line)
I still hear the children playing, dead beat dancers come to us and stay
FF DmDm
Cause I don't care where you been
C majorC A minorAm
And I don't care what you seen
DmDm G minorGm
We're the ones who still believe
C majorC FF
And we're looking for a page
C majorC DmDm
In that lifeless book of hope
C majorC A minorAm
Where dream might help you cope
DmDm G minorGm
Where the bushes and the bombs
C majorC FF
Uh-huh tranquilize
