Arcade Fire
Wake Up

From Funeral
Tabbed by theplot

Intro - C (repeated)

Choir Part - C, Am, F, G (quick), C

C
something - filled up
Am
my heart - with nothin' 
F                 G          C
someone - told me not to cry. 

C
but now that - i'm older
Am
my heart's - colder - 
F                    G          C
and i can - see that it's a lie.

(same chords for the rest of the song)

children - wake up
hold your - mistake up 
before they - turn the summer into dust. 

if the children - don't grow up
our bodies get bigger. but our hearts get torn up
we're just a million little gods causing rain storms turning every good thing to rust. 
i guess we'll just have to adjust.

Bb                               G*   
with my lighning bolts a-glowin' 
Bb                           G            F
i can see where i am going to be when
      F                               
the reaper he reaches and touches my hand. 
 
(Time change - C)
