The song "We Exist" from the new album Reflektor. I hope you like it! :)
There are a lot of barre chords in this, so for those of you who can't play barre
chords: play it 4 steps down with a capo on the 4th fret. So:
C#m = Am G# = E G#m = Em F# = D F#m = Dm
E = C A = F C# = A B = G
[Intro] (G#) C#m E G# x2
[Verse 1]
C#m
They're walking around, head full of sound
E G#
Acting like we don't exist
C#m
They walk in the room and stare right through you
E G# C#m E G#
Talking like we don't exist, but we exist
C#m
Daddy it's true; I'm different from you
E
But tell me why they treat me like this
C#m
If you turned away, what would I say?
E
Not the first betrayed by a kiss
[Chorus]
A G#m
Maybe it's true, they're staring at you
C#
When you walk in the room
A G#m
Tell them it's fine, stare if you like
C# E F# C#m E
Just let us through, just let us through
G# C#m
Na na na na na na na
E G#
Na na na na na na na
[Verse 2]
C#m
They're down on their knees begging us please
B E G# B
Praying that we don't exist
C#m
Daddy it's fine, I'm used to 'em now

But tell me why they treat me like this

It's cause we do it like this
[Hook]

Na na na na na na na

Just let us through, just let us through

Let them stare! Let them stare!

If that's all they can do!
F#m C#m
But I'd lose my heart
A F# C#
If I turned away from you
A F#m C#m
Oh Daddy don't turn away
A
You know that I'm so scared
F#m C#m
But will you watch us drown?

You know we're going nowhere
