Intro

Verse 1

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes

Chorus 1

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Verse 2

Can we climb this mountain?
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

Chorus 2

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

Verse 3

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

Instrumental 1

Bridge

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

Instrumental 2

Verse 4

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
(talks like a gentlemen Like you imagined )
When you were young
I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Fun fact

”When You Were Young” by The Killers was inspired by Bruce Springsteen’s ”Born To Run” and ”Thunder Road”. It has become a rock anthem, and is one of the most streamed songs by The Killers.

Before you start to play, you should know that in this song, the guitars are tuned down a half step in the recording. You can still play it in standard tuning as well, though! Have fun!
