Intro: C/G

C/G
Well water was wine
       Am
Back on blue Mountain Time
        F                   G
While I watched your lovin  expire
        C     G/B     Am
While I lay close to you
        F
As the lace on the shoe
    G
And that?s when I knew
        F
We were hard wired

          Am
Well you bumbled like bees
       F
And I boiled like the seas
           G                            F  G
While you led where no one would follow
     C   G/B    Am
So I hid in the mud
       F
Of my catholic blood
             G                        F
And let that minute hand race towards tomorrow

    Am
Well you are as you came
       F
Mostly bliss and cocaine
        G                F
Just a match beggin? for fire

         C   G/B   Am
Ya, and I am as I was
          F
Sick with mercy and love
     G
Well I?m sorry enough
      F
I was hard wired


    C/G
So sit by the still
Am
Drink up your fill
     F                                  G
Tell all of them people your problems
       C       G/B    Am
Those friends were so true
         F
When you were 22

   G                                 F
But now you?ve got nothing in common


           Am
Cause they are as they came
        F
Mostly bliss and cocaine
       G                    F
Just a match beggin? for fire

          C   G/B  Am
Ya   and I am as I was
           F
Sick with mercy and love
          G
Well the truth always was
        F
We were hard wired

      C/G
So go brace for good times
    Am
Ohh do what feels right
     F                            G
And send me the bill when you tire
      C    G/B  Am
Cause I am as I came
         F
And I?ll still be the same
  G
I got nothing to blame
           F
Mmmm I was hard wired

           C  G/B  Am
Ya cause I am as I was
         F
And I?ll stay here because
    G
the truth always was
             F
