CAPO: 3
Intro: (G)-(D)-(Em)-(C) x3 
whoa whoa.... 
(G)      (D)                (Em)
Days all bleed into one another 
   (C)
lately 
(G)            (D)
my brain is strained 
                  (Em)
and I got no direction 
   (C)
maybe 
         (Em)                           (C)
we could pick up all the pieces off the ground 
         (G)                    (D)
to this puzzle overtakin' people down down down 
(G)                            (D)
now you'd better break all the windows 
           (Em)
hotwire my heart 
             (C)
you are the cables 
             (G)
when I fall apart 
                (D)
and I'm goin' nowhere 
               (Em)
if this battery dies 
                (C)
in a blink of an eye 
                  (G)
we'll be bending time 
(D)-(Em)-(C)
whoa whoa.... 
(G)           (D)                      (Em)
and I've been drained from all of your affection 
   (C)
lately 
(G)          (D)                            (Em)
but I can't complain you're the queen of all deception 
   (C)
maybe 
         (Em)                            (C)
we should look at all these faces in the crowd 
       (G)                               (D)
when I smile until your curtain is comin' down down down 
(G)                            (D)
you'd better break all the windows 
           (Em)
hotwire my heart 
             (C)
you are the cables 
             (G)

we'll be bending time 
                     (D)
this building's at capacity 
     (Em)                 (C)
this bomb's a ticking tragedy 
     (G)         (D)
and I've got no philosophy
       (Em)                         (C) 
just pleading for this scenery to change 
          (D)
enough for me to say 
(G)                            (D)
you'd better break all the windows 
           (Em)
hotwire my heart

we'll be bending time 
                   (C)
in the blink of an eye

we're gonna be wondering why
