VERSE I
A C#m F#m C#m
Nobody ever had a dream round here
A F#m C#m F#m
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
A C#m F#m C#m
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here
A F#m C#m F#m
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
PRE-CHORUS
E F#m B A
I've got this energy beneath my feet
D E C#m D
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me,
E F#m B A
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
D E C#m D
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
E C#
Now
CHORUS
C# F#m
Why do you waste my time?
Dbm D E A
Is the answer to the question on your mind
F#m Db
And I'm sick of all my judges
D E Db
So scared of what they'll find
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/killers/sams_town_crd_ver_2.html ]
F#m Dbm
But I know that I can make it

As long as somebody takes me home

Every now and then
BRIDGE

Have you ever seen the lights?
A C#m F#m
Have you ever seen the lights?
VERSE II
A C#m F#m C#m
I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
A F#m Dbm F#m
Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades
A C#m F#m C#m
I took a bullet and i looked inside
A F#m D F#m
And running through my veins an American masquerade
PRE-CHORUS
E F#m B A
I still remember grandma Dixie's wake
D E C#m D
I never really known anybody that died before
E F#m B A
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake
D E C#m D
my brother, he was born on the fourth of July
E C#
And that's all
CHORUS
C# F#m
Why do you waste my time?
Dbm D E A
Is the answer to the question on your mind
F#m Db
And I'm sick of all my judges
D E Db
So scared of what they'll find
F#m Dbm
But I know that I can make it
D E A5
As long as somebody takes me home
G#m F#m A#m*
Every now and then
B5 C#5
Every now and then
D5 E5
Every now and then
OUTRO
A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
You know I see Lon-don, I see Sam's Town
A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
Holds my hand and let's my hair down
A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
A C#m F#m C#m D C#m E
I see Lon-don, I see Sam's Town
F#
Now
