Arcade Fire – Crown of Love     (Album: Funeral (2004))

!!! Capo on 3 !!!  (chord shapes at end)

C,     Fmaj7,     Gsus4,    E7/G#

They say it fades if you let it,     

        love was made to forget it

I carved your name across my eyelids,

        You pray for rain I pray for blindness

Am, F,     C,     G  {E7/G#}

If you still want me, please forgive me

The crown of love has fallen from me {E7/G#}

If you still want me, please forgive me

Because the spark is not within me

             C             Fmaj7            C

I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom

The only thing that you keep changin’

        Is your name, my love keeps growin’

Still the same, just like a cancer

        And you won’t give me a straight answer

If you still want me, please forgive me

The crown of love has fallen from me

If you still want me please forgive me

Because your hands are not upon me.

                C             Fmaj7            C

I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom

The pains of love, and they keep growin’

In my heart there’s flowers growin’

On the grave of our old love

Since you gave me a straight answer

If you still want me, please forgive me

The crown of love is not upon me

If you still want me, please forgive me

           C              C/G#                                  C/G                C/F

Cause this crown is not within me, It’s not within me, it’s not within me

You gotta be [C/G] the one, you gotta be the way

Your name is [C/F] the only word that I can say

You gotta be [C/G] the one, you gotta be the way

Your name is [C/F] the only word, the only [C/G] word [C/G#] that I can say!

                         C/G    C/G#                        C/G  C/G#

The only word that I can say!
