Wires Athlete
Wires - Athlete
(from the album Tourist)
By Hywel Thomas
A beautiful song evoking the horror of someone you love lying injured on a hospital bed
This song is strummed very lightly on the highest four strings, with on/off muting with
the barré finger. If you don't like barré chords ignore the sharps and play it Dm, C and
Gm with an F in the bridge.
[Ebm]You got wires going in
You got [C#]wires coming out of your skin
You got [Ebm]tears making tracks
I got [C#]tears that are scared of the facts
Running [Abm]down corridors through automatic doors
[Ebm]Got to get to you, [C#]got to see this through
[Abm]I seen hope is here in a plastic box
[Ebm]I seen Christmas lights [C#]reflect in your eyes
You got [Ebm]wires going in
You got [C#]wires coming out of your skin
There's dry [Ebm]blood on your wrist
Your dry [C#]blood on my fingertip
Running [Abm]down corridors through automatic doors
[Ebm]Got to get to you, [C#]got see this through
[Abm]First night of your life curled up on your own
[Ebm]Looking at me now you will [C#]never know
I see it in your [Abm]eyes I see it in your [Ebm]eyes
You'll be [F#]alr[C#]ight
I see it in your [Abm]eyes I see it in your [Ebm]eyes
You'll be [F#]alr[C#]ight
[Abm]Alri[C#]ght.
Running [Abm]down corridors through automatic doors
[Ebm]Got to get to you, [C#]got to see this through
[Abm]I see hope is here in a plastic box
[Ebm]I seen Christmas lights [C#]reflect in your eyes
With a tear in your [Ebm]eyes
Running [Abm]down corridors through automatic doors
[Ebm]Got to get to you, [C#]got to see this through
[Abm]First night of your life curled up on your own
[Ebm]Looking at you now [C#]you would never know
