Wake Up

By Arcade Fire

Key of C

[Intro]
C

[Chorus]
C                    Cmaj7
Woah oh, oh oh oh oh
Am                   Am7
Oh oh,   oh oh oh oh
F                     C
Oh oh,   oh oh oh oh  oh

[Verse]
C                   Cmaj7
Something filled up
Am                    Am7
My heart with nothin'
F                      C
Someone told me not to cry

C                      Cmaj7
But now that I'm older
Am                Am7
My heart's colder
F                         C
And I can see that it's a lie

[Chorus]
C                    Cmaj7
Woah oh, oh oh oh oh
Am                   Am7
Oh oh,   oh oh oh oh
F                     C
Oh oh,   oh oh oh oh  oh

[Verse]
C                Cmaj7
Children wake up
Am                   Am7
Hold your mistake up
F                                C
Before they turn the summer into dust

C                             Cmaj7
If the children don't grow up
Am                                               Am7
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
F
We're just a million little gods causing rain storms
                            C
Turning every good thing to rust
  C
I guess we'll just have to adjust

[Chorus]
C                    Cmaj7
Woah oh, oh oh oh oh
Am
Oh oh,   oh oh oh oh
F                     C
Oh oh,   oh oh oh oh  oh

[Bridge]
Eb                        C       Cmaj7
With my lightning bolts a glowin'
Eb                   F
I can see where I am going to be
         F
when the reaper
                          C
he reaches and touches my hand

[Outro]
C C Am Am F F C C
C C Am Am F F C C

C     C   Am
Oh oh oh  oh oh
         F
Oh oh oh oh oh
         C
Oh oh oh oh

C                   Cmaj7 Am
With my lightning bolts a-glowing
                F          C
I can see where I am going

C                   Cmaj7 Am
With my lightning bolts a-glowing
                F          C
I can see where I am going
