Tabbed by: helna
(My first tab...)
D# A#
There's a plane and I am flying
C# B
There's a mountain waiting for me
D# A#
Oh these years have been so trying
C# B
I don't know if I can use them
D# A#
Am I strong enough to be the one? (Am I strong enough to be the one?)
C# B
Will I live to have some children? (Children)
D#
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
A#
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
Gm Cm
If I only knew the answer
G# A# G#/A#
I wouldn't be bothering you, Father
D#
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
A#
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
Cm A#
If I only knew the answer
G# G#m
And if all our days are numbered
D#
Then why do I keep counting?
Cm G# A#
My sugar sweet is so attainable
Gm Cm Fm A#
This behaviour so unexplainable
Cm G#
The days just slip and slide
A#
Like they always did
Gm Cm Fm
The trouble is my head
A#
Won't let me forget
Gm Cm A# G# Gm
I took one last good look around (so many unusual sounds)
Fm Gm G# A#
I gotta get my feet on the ground
D#
Help me get down, I can make it (ahhhh)
D#
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
A#
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down

If I only knew the answer

Would you help me get down?
(help me get down, I can make it, help me get down)
A#
(Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down)
Cm A#
If I only knew the answer
D# G#
If I change my way of living
Fm A#
And If I pave my streets with good times
Gm Cm
Will the mountain keep on giving
Cm A# G#
And if all of our days are numbered
Cm D# A# D# A# D# A# D# A# D#
Then why do I keep counting
Excellent. :D
Great tab! Thanks for sharing!
Some may find it easier to play with the capo on the 1st, and transpose the song down 1 half step.
I think all the chords are played as if they were each a half-step higher, but with the guitar downtuned a half-step as well.
I say this because the Killers are somewhat notorious for having their instruments tuned down a half-step.
