Arcade Fire - City with No Children: chords

     F#             B        F#
The summer that I broke my arm
   C#     C#/B     C#/D# G#m
I waited for your letter
  F#               B       F#
I have no feeling for you now
    C#     C#/B      C#/D#  G#m
Now that I know you better

I wish that I could have loved you then
Before our age was through
And before a world war does with us
Whatever it will do

F#                       B    F#
Dreamed I drove home to Houston
     C#               C#/B     C#/D# G#m
On a highway that was underground
      F#                 B        F#
There was no light that we could see
      C#        C#/B    C#/D#         G#m   F#
As we listened to  the sound of the engine failing

Chorus:
  F#                   B     F#
I feel like I've been living in
                 B      F#
A city with no children in it
                   B    F#
A garden left for ruin by
    C#   C#/B     C#/D#     G#m     F#
A millionaire inside of a private prison

You never trust a millionaire
Quoting the Sermon on the Mount
I used to think I was not like them
But I’m beginning to have my doubts,
my doubts about it

When you’re hiding underground
The rain can’t get you wet
But do you think your righteousness
Can pay the interest on your debt?
I have my doubts about it

Chorus

I feel like I’ve been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin by and by, as I hide inside
Of my private prison
