WIRES – capo 4

D Bm
It's a full moon tonight
D
Everyone can see clearly
The music's booming tonight
Hope no one hears me

A
I just want to watch
G D
Just want to sit idly by
A
Observe a life
G D
That passed me by

D Bm
Far beyond their wires where I live
G D
I watch their fires glow
D Bm
And I've got nothing I can give, but
G D
Nobody has to know

A Bm G D
My eyes are locked in wonder|| or in hunger I can't tell
A Bm G D
For the feathers I abandoned|| to regain my sense of smell
A Bm G D
I've been away for too long|| there's no more wishing well

I see One break from the flock
Going through the wires
I watch them hike to my spot
G
I'm not sure what's about to transpire
Bm G
My muscles tense my vision narrows
A Em G D
My paws feel stapled to the ground as if they're pinned with arrows

A
There is no test
Bm
My hackles rest
A
They brush my fur
Bm
with pinioned wings
A
Whispering gently, little vixen
G D
I'd like to hear you sing


A Bm G D
I see myself beside them|| exuberance in play
Muzzle never needed|| knowing all the words to say
A Bm Em Bm
Suddenly I feel my claws|| unconsciously display
Em Bm G Em (drop string 5 d->c#)
I recall them but it’s too late|| I recall why I stayed away

Bm A Em G
Bm A G D
It's too dangerous I tell her, There's too much at stake
One wrong move I tell her, I couldn't live with my mistake

Bm D (no g)
She descends with poise
Feathers slightly ruffled

Our gazes meet beneath the noise
Both of us muffled


A Bm G D
A Bm G D
Later I approach the wire
To watch her preening late at night
She's conflicted by the feeling
If what she asked was right
She spots me for a moment
G (drop string 5 d->c#)
Before I dash
Bm A G
November chill has hardened our hearts
Em Bm A
The wire and the muzzle both protect us
G D
And keep us safely apart
