Broken Window chords by Arcade Fire

Chords with lyrics

C#dim?:| x43023 (alternatively, you can mute the high E MajorE too)
C6add9:| x30213

Chords are played in a steady rhythm, one chord per line. It sounds like the low note of
chords is dropped down to a C; this effect could be simulated by putting a capo on the
fret for all strings except the low E MajorE if you don't want to retune. (Only works if you
a clamp capo).

C majorC
Deep in the past, far in the future time
C#dimC#dim                C majorC
Deep in the past, far in the future time
C6add9                         C majorC
Just 'cause no one saw you, that don't mean it ain't a crime

C majorC
They say they know me but they only know my name
C#dimC#dim                 C majorC
They say they know me but they only know my name
C6add9                           C majorC
They're through asking me questions, I ain't gonna learn to sing

C majorC
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C#dimC#dim                            C majorC
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C6add9                            C majorC
The night they took you from me I saw the broken window and I cried

C majorC
They bound my eyes and they bound my hands
C#dimC#dim             C majorC
They bound my eyes and they bound my hands
C6add9                    C majorC
Where they're gonna take me now? No one understands

C majorC
They say they know me but they only know my name
C#dimC#dim                 C majorC
They say they know me but they only know my name
C6add9                           C majorC
They're through asking me questions, I ain't gonna learn to sing

C majorC
Lay their hands upon me now, it's midnight blue
C#dimC#dim                  C majorC
Lay the hands upon me now, it's midnight blue
C6add9                  G+G
They didn't know me and they didn't know you, no, no
C majorC
Now reduced to hide in the dark when they came for you

C majorC
I gained the world but I lost your trust
C#dimC#dim               C majorC
I gained the world but I lost your trust
C6add9                      C majorC
they throw their money at you, it ain't easy to adjust

C majorC
Come out, and put your hands on your head
C#dimC#dim                    C majorC
I said come out, and put your hands on your head
C6add9                    C majorC
Come and join the rest of us, we are already dead

C majorC
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C#dimC#dim                            C majorC
If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why
C6add9                            C majorC
The night they took you from me I saw the broken window and I cried

C majorC
Woe unto them if they touch a hair on your head
C#dimC#dim                   C majorC
Woe unto them if they touch a hair on your head
C6add9                      C majorC
You're gonna join the rest of us, we are already dead

C majorC
They won the battle, but the war is through
C#dimC#dim                C majorC
They won the battle, but the war is through
C6add9                  G+G
