Joseph Better You Than Me chords by The Killers

Joseph, Better you than me-The Killers and Elton John and Neil Tennant


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

       E                         A     E
Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph
        E                  A      C#m
Are the rumours eating you alive, Joseph

E             A             E       B
When the holy night is upon you
         E         A          E           B
Will you do what's right, the position is yours

         G      C            G        C
From the temple walls to the New York night
    G          D        C
Our decisions rest on a child
         G        C             G         C
When she took her stand did she hold your hand
          G           D            C
Will your faith stand still or run away
G
Run away

             E             A
When they've driven you so far
         E                   A
That you think you're gonna drop
       E             A                C#m        (B)
Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop

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

         G      C            G        C
From the temple walls to the New York night
      G        D        C
Our decisions rest on a man
       G        C
When I take the stand
        G       C
Will he hold my hand
         G          D        C
Will my faith stand still or run away

E
(Run Awaaaayyyy)

        A
And the desert
       B                       E
It's a hell of a place to find heaven
A                       B                      E
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God
A                              B
And you climb to the top of the mountain
                    E                   A
Looking down on the city where you were born

On the years since you left
B
Gave you time to sit back and reflect

E          A
Better you than me
E          A
Better you than me
E          A
Better you than me
Yes
         E    A        E     B
Well the holy night is upon you
       E        A              E         B
Do you see both sides, do they shove you around

Just continue E A E B as elton jams until the final line and finish on

          E                         A     E
Well your eyes just havent been the same, Joseph
