Cut By Wire

 [Intro]
C   Dm7   C   Dm7   C

[Verse]
                        Dm         F
The letter stopped in a minor key
                          G            C
A Christmas card that you drew for me
                F               C     Dm
Done by the hand that I knew so well
                              G          F      G   C
Disguised the message that you could not tell

[Verse]
                          Dm              F
I see you bent above your potter's wheel
                                  G               C
The piece you're throwing, is the piece you feel
                  F              C     Dm
The softest colour and an eye so true
                  G                     C
For cups and bowls that are shaped like you

[Chorus]
                      F             Dm
You work in porcelain cut by wire
                        G                  C
And now as ever, lovers walk through fire
                      F         C        Dm
When we were breaking, we made no sound
                          G       F        Dm7 G   C
The pieces almost touching on the ground

[Verse]
                                   Dm              F
And now your silence says, there's someone there
                             G                  C
She stands behind you as she strokes your hair
                              F         C        Dm
How does she hold you, like a long lost friend?
                            G    C
Or are you like me, on your own again?

[Instrumental]
C   F   Dm   G   C

[Verse]
                        Dm         F
And so I write you in a minor key
                               G            C
Wondering if there's something left for me
                   F           C       Dm
I'm only writing so that I can sleep
                     G        F      C
I never found another love as deep

[Chorus]
                      F             Dm
You work in porcelain cut by wire
                        G                  C
And now as ever, lovers walk through fire
                      F         C        Dm
When we were breaking, we made no sound
                          G       F        C
The pieces almost touching on the ground

[Chorus]
                      F             Dm
You work in porcelain cut by wire
                        G                  C
And now as ever, lovers walk through fire
                      F         C        Dm
When we were breaking, we made no sound
                          G       F        Dm7 G   C
The pieces almost touching on the ground
