Chords

[Intro]
D                 A             G
Carefully cut the wire and wait.

D                   A               G
Life is a series of narrow escapes.
[Verse 1]
           D
A chain reaction,

                    G
A loose thread that we must pull.

                 D
The birth of religion

                                G
In the challenge of the unknown.
[Pre-chorus]
    D
But all desperation

               G
Leads to a fork in the road -

   A
We live for understanding

     D
Or for control.
[Chorus]
   G    A               G                    D
So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait.
[Verse 2]
     G
With one eye closed,

       A
We'll draw back,

           D
Catch our breath and let go...

G                     A
Time is the string in between

           D
The arrow and the bow.
[Pre-chorus 2]
           G
If there's one thing we've learned

       A             G  A
As our pulse returns
[Chorus 2]
G     A            D    A
Timing is everything

         D     A
Is everything
[Verse 3]
    D                  A              D       A
If life is a series of narrow escapes,

       D
We're shifting our weight

            A             D      A
In this tightrope ballet.
[Ending]
                   D        A
We're down to the wire

                   D        A
We're down to the wire

                   D        A
We're down to the wire

                   D        A        D
We're down to the wire
