This tab does not have the intro riff, this is simply my interpretation of the song.

Artist: The Killers
Album: Battle Born

Intro:   -  -  -  -  -  -  -  - 

             
Lost faith in 

    
the human spir

it
            
You walk aroun

         
d like a ghost
              
Your star span

     
gled heart
            
Took a train f

       
or the coast

             
When you shine

          
 you're a hill

 top mansion
            
So how'd ya lo

       
se the light?
              
Was it blown b

      
y the wind?
            
In the still o

      
f the night

We're up again

st the wall

             
Up against the

     
 wall
            
There's someth

             
ing dying on t

   
he street
              
When they knoc

           
k you down
            
You're gonna g

              
et back on you

  
r feet

(But you can't

 stop now)

             
I always saw y

      
ou as a kind o

f keeper
            
Mother to a ch

    
ild
              
But your boys 

           
have grown sof

t
            
And your girls

           
 have gone wil

d

             
From the blue 

      
ridge to the b

lack hills
            
To the redwood

    
 sky
              
The season may

     
 pass
            
But the dream 

        
doesn't die

Why did you dr

op the ball?

             
Up against the

     
 wall
            
There's someth

             
ing dying on t

   
he street
              
When they knoc

           
k you down
            
You're gonna g

              
et back on you

  
r feet

(But you can't

 stop now)

             
Did they break

           
 your heart
            
And did they c

             
ause your soul

    
 to mourn
              
Remember what 

  
I said
            
Boy you was ba

     
ttle born

(But you can’t

 stop now)

You was Battle Born

            
When the night

              
 falls on the 


land
              
Are you haunte

            
d by the sound

  
?

            
It's gonna tak

              
e more than a 


hand
              
To turn this t

     
hing around
Won't you lean it on me?

Rescue, set me

 free!

             
Up against the

     
 wall
(Up against the wall)
            
There's someth

             
ing dying on t

   
he street
              
When they knoc

          
k you down

You're gonna g

et back on you

r feet

(But you can't

 stop now)

             
Did they break

           
 your heart
            
And did they c

             
ause your soul

    
 to mourn
              
Remember what 

  
I said

Come on give u

ong of fire
            
Lost we fall i

            
nto the dark

(No, you can't

 stop now)


You never know
              
If you never l

    
earn
         
You never shin

e
              
If you never b

   
urn

The rising tid

e
            
The undertow
 
The venom and
The overflow

You turn away
            
Welcome home.
