Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

By Arcade Fire

Key of G

[Intro]
G

[Verse]
     G
I am waiting until I don't know when
            D                         G
Because I'm sure it's going to happen then
           G
Time keeps creeping through the neighborhood
         D                                               G
Killing old folks, waking up babies just like we knew it would

[Instrumental]
G D G

[Verse]
        G
All the neighbors are starting up a fire
                 D                            G
Burning all the old folks the witches and the liars
            G
My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids
                   D                                  G
But my heart keeps watching through the skin of my eyelids

[Verse]
           C                      G    Gmaj7
They say a watched pot won't ever boil
              C                   G       Gmaj7
Well I closed my eyes and nothing changed
          B             A             G
Just some water getting hotter in the flames

[Instrumental]
G D G

[Verse]
           G
It's not a lover I want no more
             D                 G
And it's not heaven I'm pining for
                 G
But there's some spirit I used to know
            D                     G
That's been drowned out by the radio

[Verse 5]
           C                      G    Gmaj7
They say a watched pot won't ever boil
                  C             G   Gmaj7
You can't raise a baby on motor oil
            B                A                           G
Just like a seed down in the soil, you've got to give it time

[Outro]
