Chemistry Lyrics
[Verse 1: Win Butler]
I got the money and I got the time
I got a secret, gonna make you mine
I can feel you making eyes at me
Baby, you can try, but you can't deny
[Chorus: Win Butler & Band]
Chemistry (Chemistry)
Chemistry (Chemistry)
Chemistry (Chemistry)

[Verse 2: Win Butler]
Put your ice in another glass
Ask for another, you can take your chance
Ask for a dance with another boy
My heart's a city you're out to destroy
[Chorus: Win Butler & Band]
(Chemistry)
Destroy me (Chemistry)
Chemistry (Chemistry)
Baby, destroy me (Chemistry)
[Verse 3: Win Butler, with Band]
Dance with your boyfriend all night long
Tell him you really really love his song
Close your eyes, it's me you're gonna see
There ain't no way to fake it
I got the money and I got the time
I got a secret, gonna make you mine
I can feel you making eyes at me
Baby, you can try, but you can't deny
[Chorus: Win Butler & Band]

About
Genius Annotation
“Chemistry” is the sixth track on Arcade Fire’s Everything Now.
The song follows a man who has fallen in love with this girl, but she doesn’t feel the same. While this man does everything in his power to convince her that they have “Chemistry” together.
This song has a very nostalgic feel to it, with back up singers used to repeat everything that Win says in the Pre-Chorus', while also integrating a very disco melody.
