[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EIt's you in the night
EIt's you by my side
Who's making my hAead turn
It's tEempting but we've learned
EAll through the years
EWe're building what fears
We're calling to Ahold on
Admitting we've Ebeen wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
But C#mwhile young gEhost
Is C#mhaunting Ame
[Chorus]
EWe'll bleed just like the killers tonight
And it Afeels so right, burning inside
But ah C#myou can't Bwait to run back hAome
(to run back homEe)
[Verse 2]
ETry while you can
EIt's your upper hand
Who's tearing these Ahomes down
ReEtracing these old grounds
EWe're all in bad times
EWe've been trying to realize
It's been a diAsaster
The Eworld's ending faster
[Pre-Chorus]
But C#mwhile young gEhost
Is C#mhaunting Ame
[Chorus]
EWe'll bleed just like the killers tonight
And it Afeels so right, burning inside
But ah C#myou can't Bwait to run back hAome
(to run back homEe)
EWe'll bleed just like the killers tonight
And it Afeels so right, burning inside
But ah C#myou can't wait to run back hAomeF#m

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

It's you in the night

It's you by my side

Who's making my head turn

It's tempting but we've learned

All through the years

We're building what fears

We're calling to hold on

Admitting we've been wrong

[Pre-Chorus]

We'll bleed just like the killers tonight

And it feels so right, burning inside

C#m B A

But ah you can't wait to run back home

(to run back home)

[Verse 2]

Try while you can

It's your upper hand

Who's tearing these homes down

Retracing these old grounds

We're all in bad times

We've been trying to realize

It's been a disaster

The world's ending faster

[Pre-Chorus]

Exploding lights off in the valley of shine

Shine on this town

Like a firework in the distance

My soul's left behind

Leave no man behind

My soul's left behind

Leave no man behind
