I haven't figured out the chords to a song since high school, 45 years ago,
so I did the chords.
Most of the song is: D  Db  B  A (pause)  F3    D    E (pause)
           played as 1 2  3 4    pause     1    2    3 pause
A (held over from Family Snapshot, second fret on the D & B strings) 
A (second A is just the second fret on the G string) 
D(and it's all repeated again and maybe a third time) 
A A  D
 A    A   D(hold)
                *D *Db *B A       F#m D E          *D *Db *B A
And through the wire                  I hear your voice
 F#m     D             E*D *Db *B    A   F#m   D           E*D *Db *B A  
   And through the wire               I touch the power
 F#m     D             E*D *Db *B    A   F#m   D           E*D *Db *B A  
   And through the wire               I see your face
   F#mIDt's tEhrough tEhe wDire
AFriday night, you're staying at home       AI wAant Dyou
AI'm tickling and clicking a metronome      AI wAant Dyou

APressure's building-overspill              AI wAant Dyou
                    *D *Db *B A     F#m D  E       *D *Db *B A
And through the wire                      You are secure
 F#m    D              E*D *Db *B      A   F#m    D        E*D *Db *B A  
    And through the wire                  We can talk
 F#m      D            E*D *Db *B      A   F#m    D        E*D *Db *B A
