The Wire

[Intro]
A~

[Verse]
         A
You know I'm bad at communication,

it's the hardest thing for me to do

And it's said, it's the most important part

that relationships will go through
        E                
  And I'd give it all away
  D
just so I could say that
A\
I know I know I know I know

that you're gonna be okay anyway


[Verse]
         A
You know there's no rhyme

or reason for the way you turned out to be

I didn't go and try to change your mind,

not intentionally
            E
I know it's hard to hear me say it
    D
but I can't bear to stay and
A\
I just know I know I know I know

that you're gonna be okay anyway


[Pre-chorus]
A  
Always keep your

heart locked tight,
                      E
don't let your mind retire, oh


[Chorus]
    D
But I just couldn't take it,
  A
I tried hard not to fake it
      F#m               
  But I fumbled and when
                    E
I came down to the wire
        D              A
It felt right, it felt right, oh
      F#m               
  But I fumbled and when
                    E
I came down to the wire
        D              A
It felt right, it felt right, oh
      F#m               
  But I fumbled and when
                    E
I came down to the wire


[Verse]
A
Does your imagination try

to make you what you wanted to be

Because I'm sorry I do what I did,

but it came naturally
     E                
  So I gave it all away
  D
just so I could say that
       A
Well I know I know I know I know

that you're gonna be okay anyway


[Verse]
A  
Well I try to keep

myself together,

after all the opportunities

I try to stay true to you and try

to do what you wanted for me
        E                
  And I'd give it all away
  D
just to hear you say that
       A\
Well I know I know I know I know

that you're gonna be okay anyway


[Pre-chorus]
A  
Always keep your

heart locked tight,
                      E
don't let your mind retire, oh


[Chorus]
    D
But I just couldn't take it,
A
I tried hard not to fake it
      F#m               
  But I fumbled and when
                    E
I came down to the wire
        D              A
It felt right, it felt right, oh
      F#m               
  But I fumbled and when
                    E
I came down to the wire
        D              A
It felt right, it felt right, oh
      F#m               
  But I fumbled and when
                    E    \
I came down to the wire
