(Antichrist Television BLues)
The Arcade Fire
1-866 NEON BIBLE
Kind of a long song, strummy and use hammer ons 0h2 on the D string.
GI don't wanna work in the building downtown
No I don't wanna work in the building downtown
CI don't know what I'm gonna do
GCause the planes keep crashing always two by two
DI don't wanna work in the building downtown
No I dCon't wanna see when the planes hit the groundG  
GI don't wanna work in the building downtown
I don't wanna work in the building downtown
CParking their cars in the underground
GTheir voices when they scream, well they make no sound
DI wanna see the cities rust
Cand the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus
GDear God, I'm a good Christian man
In your glory, I know you understand
CThat you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
GMy girl's thirteen but she don't act her age
DShe can sing like a bird in a cage
COh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage!
GYou know that I'm a God-fearing man
You know that I'm a God-fearing man
CWell I just gotta know if it's part of your plan
GTo seat my daughters there by your right hand
DI know that you'll do what's right, Lord
For they Care the lanterns and you are the lightG  
CNow I'm overcGome
CBy the light of dGay
CMy lips are near but my hGeart is far away
CTell me what to sGay
CI'll be your mouthpiece!
GInto the light of a bridge that burns
As I drive from the city with the money that I earned
CInto the dark of a starless sky
Well I'm sGtaring into nothing and I'm asking you why:
DLord, let me make her a star So thCe world can see who you really are?
GLittle girl, you're old enough to understand
That you'll always be a stranger on a strange, strange land
CThe men are gonna come while you're fast asleep
GSo you better just stay close and hold on to me
DIf my little mockingbird don't sing
CWell then daddy won't buy no diamond ring
GDear God, would you send me a child?
Oh God! would you send me a child?
CCause I wanna put it up on the TV screen
GSo the world can see what your true word means
DLord, would you send me a sign?
CCause I just gotta know if I'm wasting my time!G  
CNow I'm overcGome
CBy the light of dGay
CMy lips are near but my hGeart is far away
CNow the war is woGn
CHow come nothing tastes good?
[Solo Break]
G C G D C
GOh! You're such a sensitive child!
You know you're such a sensitive child!
CI know you're tired, but it's alright
GJust need you to sing for me tonight
DYou're gonna have your day in the sun
CYou know God loves the sensitive ones
GOh! my little bird in a cage!
Oh! my little bird in a cage!
CI need you to get up for me, up on that stage
GAnd show the men that you're old for your age
DNow ain't the time for fear
CBut if you don't take it, it'll disappear!
GOh! my little mockingbird sing!
Oh! my little mockingbird sing!
CI need you to get up on that stage for me, honey
GShow the men it's not about the money
DWanna hold a mirror up to the world
CSo that they can see themselves inside my little girl!
GDo you know where I was at your age?
Any idea where I was at your age?
CI was was working downtown for the minimum wage
GAnd I'm not gonna let you just throw it all away!
DI'm through being cute, I'm through being nice
COh tell me, Lord, am I the Antichrist?!
