Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 3 half steps down [ -3 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 3 to stay in the same key

Verse 1:
Cm                            Gm
Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire
     Ab                                  Bb            Cm
I'm watching her dance, her dress is a catch in the light.
                   Gm
In her eyes there's no lies, no lies,
  Ab                             Bb
there's no question, she's not in a disguise.
 
Pre-Chorus:
Ab               Bb                  Ab
There's no way out and a long way down,
           Bb               Ab
everybody needs someone around.
             Bb                  Ab
But I can't hold you, too close now,
                               Bb
through the wire, through the wire.
 
Chorus:
Cm                   Gm             Ab            Bb
What a feeling to be right here beside you now, holding you in my arms.
Cm                  Gm                    Ab                  Bb
When the air ran out and we both started running wild, the sky fell down.
     Cm                  Bb            Ab                  Bb
But you've got stars in your eyes and I've got something missing tonight.
Cm                 Gm          Ab                   Bb
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow I wish I could be there now.
 
Verse 2:
Cm                             Gm
Through the wire, through the wire, through the wire
     Ab                            Bb
I'm watching like this imagining you're mine.
Cm                   Gm
It's too late, too late, am I too late?
 Ab                         Bb
Tell me now, am I running out of time?
 
Pre-Chorus:
Ab               Bb                  Ab
There's no way out and a long way down,
           Bb               Ab
everybody needs someone around.
             Bb                  Ab
But I can't hold you, too close now,
                               Bb
through the wire, through the wire.
 
Chorus:
Cm                   Gm             Ab            Bb
What a feeling to be right here beside you now, holding you in my arms.
Cm                  Gm                    Ab                  Bb
When the air ran out and we both started running wild, the sky fell down.
     Cm                  Bb            Ab                  Bb
But you've got stars in your eyes and I've got something missing tonight.
Cm                 Gm          Ab                   Bb
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow I wish I could be there now.
 
Bridge:
Fm                   Ab
Whatever chains are holding you back,
 Cm                Bb
holding you back, don't let 'em tie you down.
Fm                   Ab
Whatever chains are holding you back,
 Cm                 Bb
holding you back, tell me you believe in that.
 
Chorus:
Cm                   Gm             Ab            Bb
What a feeling to be right here beside you now, holding you in my arms.
Cm                  Gm                    Ab                  Bb
When the air ran out and we both started running wild, the sky fell down.
     Cm                  Bb            Ab                  Bb
But you've got stars in your eyes and I've got something missing tonight.
Cm                 Gm          Ab                   Bb
What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow I wish I could be there now.

For those having trouble with Bm, may I ask if you are barring the second fret? If you aren’t, then you can bar the second fret with your index finger (if you want, you can place your middle finger on top of your index so that it will be pushed down more) and then place either your middle or ring finger on the G string in the fourth fret.

Hope this helped!

I like adding an A before the G on the end of the chorus. It makes the transition between the Bm and the G smoother.

Abby Nicole Arellano

I replaced the Bm with D and it sounded much better for me

Haidee Wasson

one of my favorite songs and artists!
it sounds better if u do single up strums

Yeet

If you want, you can add an A chord after the second Bm at the end of the chorus e.g. would roses (G) bloooooooooooooooooooom? (Bm) could roses (G) bloooooooooooooooooom? (Bm) (A) again (G) idk if that helps 🙂

Akvi

-2 is the easiest and sounds exactly like the song <33

:p

I suggest a down mute for each chord besides the chorus

_Ukulele.Practise_

Is there any chords I could use that are easier than Bm? I’m struggling to get my fingers in the right place and it doesn’t sound right
