The Way It's Always Been - Brandon Flowers
The Desired Effect (2015)
*Intro: F – C – Bb – F x2
F C Bb F
They shut down the Golden Sahara Hotel
F C Bb F
Jessica says it won't be long 'til they blow it all to hell
F C Bb F
She's standing in the front yard cut off and skins
F C Bb F
Me and her brother we been friends, since I can't remember when
F C Bb F
Ain't that the way it's always been?
F C Bb F
Everybody sittin' around waiting for the sun to come again
F C Bb F
A shift at the chemical plant, a white wedding dress
F C Bb F
I wake up every morning and I wonder if I'm gonna pass the test
F C Bb F
Try to live up to but she's got in mind
F C Bb F
Sometimes the pressure's so heavy I feel like leaving it all behind me
F C Bb F
Ain't that the way that it's always been?
F C Bb F
Laying low just long enough for the dust to settle down
F C Bb F
The black and the white, the thick and the thin
F C Bb F
And hoping that He's really got the power to save us from these sins
F C Bb F
Everybody sittin' around waiting for the sun to come again
Bb Dm
I took a long walk yesterday
Gm Am Dm
To a field where I used to play
F Bb
I saw myself in the corner of my mind
C
I was twelve years old and blind
Bb
To the big wheel and the grind
Bb – Dm – Am x2
Bb
Bb - C
F C Bb F
Ain't that the way that it's always been?
F C Bb F
Standin' at the water's edge waiting for the fog to clear
F C Bb F
Tackle or touch, you sink or you swim
F C Bb F
And hoping that He's really got the power to save us from these sins
F C Bb F
Everybody sittin' around waiting for the sun to come again
G Bb F
They're waiting for the sun to come again
*Outro:
C – Bb – F
F – C – Bb - F
Enjoy!
