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.
