[Intro]
C G Am G* F
(Play 4 times)
[Verse 1]
C G Am G* F
There was a crack in your smile the day you were born
C G Am G* F
You're out on the pull and it's making you yawn
C G Am G* F
Good samaritans never play their part
C G Am G* F
Come round, let me put my hands around your heart
[Chorus 1]
C G Am G* F
Livewire, your life is in the fire
C G Am
You got everything to play for
G* F
1-1, half time
C G Am G* F
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
Dm Fsus
We got everything to live for
N.C.
Don't kick it all the time
C G Am G* F (play 2 times)
[Bridge]
C G Am G* F
Standing in the borough markets selling straws
C G Am G* F
People just stare at you and gawp
C G
You'd like to say you're wasted,
Am G* F Dm Fsus
but it's not the alcohol that's making you feel like a flat spare wheel
[Chorus 2]
C G Am G* F
Livewire, your life is in the fire
C G Am
You got everything to play for
G* F
1-1, half time
C G Am G* F
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
Dm Fsus
We got everything to live for
N.C.
Don't kick it all the time
[Solo]
Same chord progression as the verses and choruses with improvised
finger picking.
[Verse 3]
C G Am G* F
Helicopters hover over the street
C G Am G* F
There's always somebody else you're dying to meet
C G
And you're always getting older
Am G* F Dm Fsus
That's the deepest thought you can commit to paper
As the nights get later
[Chorus 3]
C G Am G* F
Livewire, your life is in the fire
C G Am
You got everything to play for
G* F
1-1, half time
C G Am G* F
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
Dm Fsus
We got everything to live for
Don't kick it all the time
C G Am G* F
Don't kick it all the time
C G Am G* F
