End Of The Empire I-iii chords by Arcade Fire

Verse 1:
 C         Am
One last dance
             F          G
Here at the end of the empire
 C       Am
Makes me cry
              F           G
Watching the moon on the ocean
                         C
Where California used to be



               Am
It's not half bad, oh
 C                          Am
Spend half your life being sad, woah
 Dm               G
Well, don't be scared, oh-oh
Dm                     G
  Just chronically impaired, oh-oh
Dm               G
  Just take my hand, oh-oh
Dm                          G
Standing at the end of the American Empire

Verse 2:
 C        Am
One last song
             F          G
Here at the end of the movie
       C        Am
They seemed so sure
                     F        G
At l ast that's the way I rememb r the war
                       C
When New York used to be
              Am
It's not half bad, oh-oh
C                             Am    Dm
Spending half your life being sad, woah

Don't you weep, oh-oh
Dm                       G
  Half your life fast asleep, oh-oh
Dm              G
  Feeling uninspired, oh
 Dm                         G
Standing at the end of the American Empire

Verse 2:
         C            G/B     Am  G
And we know that it's time to go
F         D/F# G
Heard the news on the radio
F            Em     E7     Am  F
  One last round before we go
             C         G      E7
Through the pale atmospheric glow
         C        G/B    Am  G
And the oxygen's getting low
        F            D/F#     G  F
Sing a song that we used to know
           Em     E7     Am  F
One last round before we go
          C       G      C
One last round before we go

You know I can’t sleep with the television on
