D
Have you been headwired
Were you satisfied
Did it free the feelings in your spine
  G            Em             D
Sleeping way inside all this time
D
Will you meet your mind where the night collides
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives
G                Em              D
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine

Chorus:
Bm             A            G
Better than a bullet being fired
                 C  G/B    D
Tangled in your headwires now
Bm             A            G
Better than a bullet being fired
                 C  G/B    A#  F/A   G  Em
Tangled in your headwires headwires now

Help you feed the wires when your head unwinds
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I'll be fine
There's a reason why keeping me alive
There's a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I'll survive

Chorus:
Bm             A            G
Better than a bullet being fired
                 C  G/B    D
Tangled in your headwires now
Bm             A            G
Better than a bullet being fired
                 C  G/B    A#  F/A
Tangled in your headwires headwires

  C              G/B   A#               F/A
Stationed on the wire, one day I'll let go
 C             G/B
Tell them all hello
 A#             F/A
Tell them all hello
  C              G/B   A#               F/A
Stationed on the wire, one day I'll let go
 C             G/B
Tell them all hello
 A#             F/A      G  Em
Tell them all hello headwire

D
The sun is on Arlandria
D                             G  Em
The sun is on Arlandria, headwire
D
The sun is on Arlandria
D                             G  Em
The sun is on Arlandria, headwire
D
The sun is on Arlandria
D                             G  Em     D
The sun is on Arlandria, headwire  headwire
