Arcade Fire - We Used to Wait: chords

         Cm
I used to write
                D#/A#     G#               D#
I used to write letters I used to sign my name
           Cm
I used to sleep at night
                    D#/A#          G#          D#
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
                   Cm
But by the time we met
               D#/A#     G#                 D#
By the time we met the times had already changed
                   Cm
So I never wrote a letter
                D#/A#        G#              D#
I never took my true heart I never wrote it down
                       Cm
So when the lights cut out
           D#/A#            G#         D#
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown

F                  D#       Cm
Now our lives are changing fast
F                  D#       Cm
Now our lives are changing fast
A#                   Gm       F
Hope that something pure can last
A#                   Gm       F
Hope that something pure can last

And it seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown

Chorus:
Cm  D#     D#/A#    Cm
    Ooh we used to wait
    D#     D#/A#    G#
    Ooh we used to wait
A#  D#     D#/A#    Cm
    Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
    D#     D#/A#    Cm
    Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
    D#     D#/A#    G#          A#
    Ooh we used to wait (Still moving through
         D#
   the pain)

I'm gonna write
A letter to my true love, I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again, gonna move through the pain

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last

Chorus

              Cm  D#

  We used to wait for it, We used to wait for it
G#           D#                   F      Cm
  Now we're screaming, sing the Chorus again
Cm           D#         Cm            D#
  We used to wait for it, We used to wait for it

  Now we're screaming, sing the Chorus again
Cm         D#        Cm            D#
 I used to wait for it, I used to wait for it
G#                D#                  F      Cm
  Hear my voice screaming, sing the Chorus again
