Cm                            Gm
Through the wire, through the wire,
through the wire
     G#
I'm watching her dance,
                A#           Cm
her dress is a catch in the light.
                        Gm
In her eyes there's no lies, no lies,
  G#                           A#
there's no question, she's not in a disguise.

G#              A#                 G#
There's no way out and a long way down,
           A#             G#
everybody needs someone around.
             A#                  G#
But I can't hold you, too close now,
                               A#
through the wire, through the wire.

Chorus:
Cm                 Gm              G#
What a feeling to be right here beside you now,
 A#
holding you in my arms.
When the air ran out and we both
started running wild, the sky fell down.
But you've got stars in your eyes and
I've got something missing tonight.
What a feeling to be a king beside you,
somehow I wish I could be there now.

Through the wire, through the wire,
through the wire
I'm watching you like this,
imaginin' you're mine
It's too late, it's too late, am I too late?
Tell me now, am I running out of time?

With no way out and a long way down
Everybody needs someone around
But I can't hold you too close now
Through the wire, through the wire

Chorus

Fm                   G#
Whatever chains are holding you back,
 Cm                A#
holding you back, don't let 'em tie you down.
Fm                   G#
Whatever chains are holding you back,
 Cm                 A#
holding you back, tell me you believe in that.

Chorus

I wish I could be there now.
