READ MY MIND - THE KILLERS
Standard Tuning (EADGBE), Capo 1
This tab covers all bars as played in the album version,
if a chord is played over more than one bar then it's either duplicated or marked with a "(2x)".
The indentation should also be fine so that the chords match the words.
This is the version I play on my acoustic guitar, I hope you like it.

Intro:
Verse 1:
On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Verse 2:
I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light, I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Chorus:
The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the promised land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
(E7)
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
(2x) (2x)
Before you go, can you read my mind?
Verse 3:
It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Chorus:
The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the chosen one
A southern drawl, a world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump, tell me what you
find when you read my mind
Solo:
Chorus:
Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again, she said
I don't mind, if you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
F (2x)
Put your back on me
Outro:
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
C (<- End on a single strum on the C here)
