[Intro]
C/G
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
C G/B Am
Ya cause I am as I was
F
And I’ll stay here because
G
the truth always was
F
We were haaard wired
