Wires
The Neighbourhood
Standard Tuning (They tune down, but I changed it so you don't have to.)
No Capo
*In the (live) acoustic version, they do not play the Cm in the verses, they just keep strumming Bb
so take it off if you would like*
[1st Verse]
[Gm]
We talked about making it
[F]
I'm sorry that you never made it
[Eb] [Cm]
And it pains me to hear you have to say it
[Gm]
You knew the game and played it
[F]
It kills me to know that you have been defeated
[Eb] [Cm]
I see the wires pulling while you're breathing
[Gm] [F]
You knew you had a reason it killed you like diseases
[Eb] [Cm]
I could hear it in your voice while you're speaking
[Gm] [F]
He can't be treated, Mr.-Know-It-All had his reign and his fall
[Eb] [Cm]
At least that is what his brain is telling all
Chorus
[Gm] [F]
If he said, help me kill the president
[Eb] [Cm]
I'd say he needs medicine,
[Gm] [F]
Sick of screaming let us in
[Eb]
The wires got the best of him,
[Cm]
and all that he invested in,
[Gm] [F] [Eb] [Cm]
goes Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (oh oh oh woah oh oh)
[Gm] [F] [Eb] [Cm]
Straight to hell, straight to hell
[2nd Verse]
[Gm]
He told me, I should take it in
[F]
Listen to every word he's speaking
[Bb]
The wires getting older
[Cm]
I can hear the way they're creaking
[Gm]
As their holding him
[F]
I could see it in his jaw
[Bb] [Cm]
that all he ever wanted was a job
[Gm]
He tells me to be raw
[F]
admits to every little flaw
[Bb] [Cm]
that never let him sit at the top,
[Gm]
Don't tell me to stop
[F]
Thinks that I should be a little cautious,
[Bb] [Cm]
I can tell the wires were pulled
Chorus
[Gm] [F]
If he said, help me kill the president
[Bb] [Cm]
I'd say he needs medicine,
[Gm] [F]
Sick of screaming let us in
[Bb]
The wires got the best of him,
[Cm]
and all that he invested in,
[Gm] [F] [Bb] [Cm]
goes Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (oh oh oh woah oh oh)
[Gm] [F] [Bb] [Cm]
Straight to hell, straight to hell
Bridge
[Gm]
I've been having trouble in believing
[F]
I just started seeing,
[Bb]
light at the beginning of the tunnel
[Cm]
But he tells me that I'm dreaming,
[Gm]
When he talks I hear his ghosts
[F]
Every word they say to me,
[Bb] [Cm]
I just pray the wires aren't coming
Chorus
[Gm] [F]
If he said, help me kill the president
[Bb] [Cm]
I'd say he needs medicine,
[Gm] [F]
Sick of screaming let us in
[Bb]
The wires got the best of him,
[Cm]
and all that he invested in,
[Gm] [F] [Bb] [Cm]
goes Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (oh oh oh woah oh oh)
[Gm] [F] [Bb] [Cm]
Straight to hell, straight to hell
[Gm] [F] [Bb] [Cm]
Straight to hell, Straight to hell, (oh oh oh woah oh oh)
[Gm] [F] [Bb] [Cm]
Straight to hell, straight to hell
