intro: C
C               G
Well water was wine
       Am
Back on blue Mountain Time
        F                     G
While I watched your lovin? expire
        F             Dm
While I laid close to you
        F
As the lace on the shoe
     C                 G
And that?s when I knew
             F
We were hardwired

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

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

            G       A
Yeah, and I am as I was
           F
Sick with mercy and love
         G
Well I'm sorry enough
          F
I was hardwired


        C
So baby sit by the still
Am
Drink up your fill
     F                                  G
Tell all of them people your problems
       C       G       A
Those friends were so true
         F
When you were 22
    C                 G        A     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     A
Yeah and I am as I was
           F             Dm
Sick with mercy and love
          G
Well I'm sorry enough
          F
I was hardwired

        G               C
So baby brace for good times
    Am
Oh, do what feels right
     F                            G
And send me the bill when you tire
      C          Am
Cause I am as I came
          F
And I'll still be the same
               C               G
Well I've got nothing to blame
             F
Oh I was hardwired

          C      Am
Oh cause I am I was
          Dm        F
And I'll stay here because
                    C               G
Yeah, you know the truth always was
            F
We were hardwired
