Arcade Fire

Keep the Car Running

Every night my dream's the same

Same old city with a different name

Fadd9

Men are coming to take me away

I don't know why but I know I can't stay

There's a weight that's pressing down

Late at night you can hear the sound

Even the noise you make when you sleep

Can't swim across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

Am7 Fadd9

But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, when it's coming

There's a fear I keep so deep

Knew its name just before I could speak, yeah

Oh Oh Oh Oh

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, or when but it's coming

Keep the car running

If some night I don't come home

Please don't think I've left you alone

Fadd9

The same place animals go when they die

You can't climb across a mountain so high

Fadd9

The same city where I go when I sleep

You can't see across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, oh when is it coming

Keep the car running
