The Desired Effect Brandon Flowers
[E] [E] [A] [E]
[C#m] [B] [E] [A]
[E]She was raised a [E]Protestant
[A]I was raised by [E]wolves
[C#m]Both of us saw d[B]ignity in v[E]ain[A]
[E]The stretching out in [E]paradise
[A]It wasn't in the [E]cards
[C#m]See, neither of us were [B]ready for the [E]rain[A]
[B]Guess I was caught off-guard
When I [C#m]heard the news last week
[B]Ran into a friend of mine
With the [C#m]word on the street
[E]That the life that you chose to [E]lead
Had the des[A]ired eff[E]ect
That you [C#m]hit the ground [B]running
The [E]day that you [A]left
That you're [E]playing for every [E]side
That you're [A]going for every [E]kill
But [C#m]I don't be[B]lieve it
And [E]I never [A]will
[E]Never will
[E] [E] [A] [E]
[C#m] [B] [E] [A]
[E]Maybe it's all [E]dogs and bones
[A]Chasing every [E]tail
And [C#m]howling at the in[B]justice of the [E]night[A]
And [B]if I mis[B]judged you
Well, [C#m]honey, that's on [C#m]me
But I [A]really do hope you [A]found a way
To [A]get what you [A]need
[E]And the life that you chose to l[E]ead
Had the des[A]ired eff[E]ect
That you [C#m]hit the ground [B]running
The [E]day that you [A]left
That you're [E]playing for every [E]side
That you're [A]going for every [E]kill
But [C#m]I don't be[B]lieve it
And [E]I never [A]will
[E]Are you wondering where it [E]all goes?
Are you [E]living the way you [E]should?
Are you [A]taking the time to [A]listen?
Is it [E]doing you any [E]good?
Are you [B]wresting with the [B]demons?
Are you [A]moving the party [A]forward
In your [E]time?
Are you [E]looking to change the [E]world?
Or have you [E]already changed your [E]mind?
Are you [A]keeping the Ten [A]Commandments
Or are you [E]leaving 'em all be[E]hind?
Are you [B]practicing your [B]pirouettes?
Or are you [A]going in the [A]line this time?
[E]
[B]'Til the life that you chose to [B]lead
Had the [C#m]desired [C#m]effect
Did you [A]hit the ground [A]running
The [A]day that you [A]left?
Are you [B]playing for every [B]side?
Are you [C#m]going for every [C#m]kill?
Well, [A]I don't be[A]lieve it
[A]And I never will
[E]C#[E]m [A]B [E]E A(let ring)
