On A Wire

pretty simple , but a great song . they tune to drop C# , but since it’s acoustic , you can tune to whatever fits your voice best . however , if you want it to match their notes exactly , you’re going to tune to standard ( high to low = D# , A# , F# , C# , G# , D# ) . Verse : D G i’m on fire , close to the water D G and i’ll be saved again D G staring at the ocean , over and over D G will i ever see them again pre - Chorus : F# G A why’d they leave so soon Chorus : D find a way to bring me home G i don’t wanna be alone again not again D find a ship to take me home G i don’t wanna be alone again not again , not again , not again , not again Verse 2 : D G i’m on a wire , over the border D G and i’ll be safe agian D G living on an island , over and over D G i don’t think i’ll see them again pre - Chorus : F# G A why’d they leave so soon Chorus : D find a way to bring me home G i don’t wanna be alone again not again , not again , not again , not again Bridge : B A as the daylight fades ( daylight fades ) B G D A i Am a broken man , all alone B A as the daylight fades ( daylight fades ) B G D A not just a broken man , all alone , with no home D here on a island Chorus : D find a way to bring me home G i don’t wanna be alone again not again D find a ship to take me home G i don’t wanna be alone again not again , not again , not again , not again D G here on an island D G all alone in the silence
