The song "We Exist" from the new album Reflektor. I hope you like it! :)

There are a lot of barre chords in this, so for those of you who can't play barre 
chords: play it 4 steps down with a capo on the 4th fret. So:

C#m = Am       G# = E       G#m = Em        F# = D         F#m = Dm 
E = C          A = F        C# = A          B = G

Intro: (G#) C#m E G# x2

C#m
They're walking around, head full of sound
            E                  G#
Acting like we don't exist
C#m
They walk in the room and stare right through you
             E              G#         C#m E G#
Talking like we don't exist, but we exist

C#m
Daddy it's true; I'm different from you
                     E                    
But tell me why they treat me like this
C#m
If you turned away, what would I say?
                  E
Not the first betrayed by a kiss

A                        G#m
Maybe it's true, they're staring at you
         C#
When you walk in the room
A                    G#m
Tell them it's fine, stare if you like
C#                  E  F#                  C#m E
Just let us through,   just let us through
G#             C#m
Na na na na na na na 
               E     G#
Na na na na na na na

C#m                          
They're down on their knees begging us please
B            E              G# B
Praying that we don't exist
C#m
Daddy it's fine, I'm used to 'em now 
B                    E                  
But tell me why they treat me like this
G#         B             C#m    E
It's cause we do it like this

G#             C#m
Na na na na na na na
               E     
Na na na na na na na
A                        G#m
Maybe it's true, they're staring at you
         C#
When you walk in the room
A                   G#m
Tell 'em it's fine, stare if you like
C#                  E  F#                  
Just let us through,   just let us through

A F#m C#m x2

A        F#m             C#m
Let them stare! Let them stare!
                   A
If that's all they can do!
        F#m     C#m
But I'd lose my heart
                    A      F#  C#
If I turned away from you

A          F#m         C#m
  Oh Daddy don't turn away
    A
You know that I'm so scared
    F#m                C#m
But will you watch us drown?
                     A       F#m C#m (E) A
You know we're going nowhere

   F#m             C#m
We know that we're young
                      A
And no shit we're confused
    F#m                C#m
But will you watch us drown?
                           A     F#m C#m
What are you so afraid to lose?
