Another great song from Arcade Fire off a great album. Not exactly guitar
friendly, but it still sounds pretty good. Add a disco beat and you're on fire. Enjoy!

Chords*:E(022100)
B verse:(224442) chorus:(799877)

[Intro]
E-B-F#-G#m x4
[Verse 1]
E AfterBlife, F#oh my god, what an awful G#mword
E After all the Bbreath and the dirt and the F#fires are burnt G#m

E And after all the Bhangers-on are done hanging on in the F#dead lights of the afterG#mglow
G#mI've gotta know...
[Chorus]
F# Can we work it Eout'
If we scream and G#mshout 'till we work it Bout
F#Can we just work it Eout'
Scream and G#mshout 'till we work it Bout
'Till we work it Eout, 'till we work it G#mout
'Till we work it F#out, 'till we work it Eout
[Verse 2]
E AfterBlife, I F#think I saw what happens G#mnext
E Oh, it was just a Bglimpse of you, like looking through a F#window or a shallow seaG#m
Could you see me'
E And after all this Btime, it's like F#nothing else we used to G#mknow
E And after all the Bhangers-on are done hanging on in the F#dead lights of the afterG#mglow
G#mI've gotta know...
[Chorus]
F# Can we work it Eout'
If we scream and G#mshout 'till we work it Bout
F#Can we just work it Eout'
If we scream and G#mshout 'till we work it Bout
[Bridge]
But you say,F# ohhhhEh
When love is G#mgone, where does it Bgo'
And you say,F# ohhhhEh
When love is G#mgone, where does it Bgo'
And where do we Ego'
Where do we Bgo'
Where do we F#go'
Where do we G#mgo'
Where do we Ego'
Where do we Bgo'
Where do we F#go'
Where do we G#mgo'
[Verse 3]
E And after Bthis
F#Can it last another G#mnight'
E After all the Bbad advice
That had F#nothing at all to do with G#mlife
G#mI've gotta know...

If we scream and G#mshout 'till we work it Bout
F#Can we just work it Eout'
If we scream and G#mshout 'till we work it Bout
