G          F#m
Why do you hate me?
D             C
Why don't you just simmer down?
G                  F#m
You could be doing great things
D          C
Instead of just pushing me around
G        F#m     Em
Or maybe just be sleeping 
     C                     D
Even you at times must get tired

       G      Em    D   Bm
You're such a wire
       G      Em    D   Bm
You're such a wire      look at you
       G      Em    D     
You're such a wire
           C          A7           Em
look at you packing it blasting it
                D
You're such a wire

G            D        G
The world it looks so big 
      Em        Bm 
but it feels so small
G            D      G            Em       Bm      D
I'm snapping like a twig in this dried up dying fall
C                                 D
 I think the winter is gonna be a real whirligig

G        F#m
why do I hate you?
D             C
that's because I am full of it
G                  F#m
if all your dreams came true
D                C
then you must be completely full of it
G         F#m       Em
you won't catch me weeping
           C                   D
'cause you know that I'm not a crier

    G      Em    D   Bm
i'm such a wire
    G      Em    D   Bm
i'm such a wire      look at me 
    G      Em    D         
i'm such a wire
          C          A7          Em             D
look at me packing it blasting it I'm such a wire
