The Killers - The Rising Tide: chords

C#
The streets of persuasion
B                G#
Are plated with gold
C#
Your heart's in the right place,
          B                    G#
But you travel down the wrong road
C#
Like so many before you
B               G#
The gates open wide
               C#        B G#
Here come the rising tide

Chorus:
      F#         G#
Let's go out, tonight
           A#m                         F#
There's a mystery underneath the neon lights
                          G#
Before life and dream collide
           A#m                                F#
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide
         D#m              Fm            A#m
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

Keep up your appearance
You're joining the choir
With everybody singing out glory Hallelujah
The time came for your solo
But there was nowhere to hide
Here come the rising tide

Chorus:
And the company you keep
Where they plan your crucifixion as we speak
So baby, till life and the dream collide
There's going to be a mystery
underneath those neon lights
If you can't decipher just who's on your side
You will not escape the rising of the tide

         C#
Can you tell me brother
   D#m            C#     D#m
Was I deceived or in denial?
        C#
I was there in the back
       D#m                 F# G#
of the room when you testified

Chorus:
With your pitchfork tongue you licked your lips and lied
We're never going to know how hard you cried
When you petitioned and your access was denied
Till the venom in your veins is satisfied
Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride
Where you can't escape, yeah you can't escape
No you can't escape the rising of the tide
