Arcade Fire - End of the Empire I-III: chords

C    G    Am
One last dance
G7          F          G
Here at the end of the empire
C     G  Am
Makes me cry
G7            F          G
Watching the moon on the ocean
       F                  C                 Am
Where California used to be, it's not half bad
 C                              Am
Oh, spend half your life being sad
  Dm                   G
Woah, well, don't be scared
   Dm                      G
Oh-oh, just chronically impaired
   Dm                G7
Oh-oh, just take my hand, oh-oh
 Dm                          G
Standing at the end of the American Empire

One last song
Here at the end of the movie
They seemed so sure
At least that's the way I remember the war
When New York used to be
It's not half bad, oh-oh
Spending half your life being sad, woah
Don't you weep, oh-oh
Half your life fast asleep, oh-oh
Feeling uninspired, oh
Standing at the end of the American Empire

        C              C/B       Am Am/G
And we know that it's time to go
           F           D/F#  G  F
Heard the news on the radio
         Em      Em/G#     Am F
One last round before we go
F            C          G      Em  Em/G#
Through the pale atmospheric glow
        C        C/B        Am Am/G
And the oxygen's getting low
       F            D/F#         G  F
Sing a song that we used to know
          Em       Em/G#   Am F
One last round before we go
          C        G       C
One last round before we go

C                     Am
Didn't use to get high, didn't use to drink and I
C                    Am                       F
Didn't use to think I could ever dream about losing
you

C                    Am
Didn't use to get low this time of night and I
C                      Am
Didn't use to walk home in the morning light
         F            G
Without you, without you

                   C   Am
Didn't use to get high, didn't use to drink
                    C Am                      F
Didn't use to think I could ever dream about losing
      G
you, you, but I do

Chorus:
    C
It’s you and I, it’s do or die
 Am
Suicide mission, baby by my side
      C
We got one life and half of it’s gone
           Am
You know I can’t sleep with the television on

       C              Am
Didn't use to get high
     C             Am
With you by my side
                 C
