Wires - Athlete (from the album Tourist) By Hywel Thomas #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # A beautiful song evoking the horror of someone you love lying injured on a hospital bed This song is strummed very lightly on the highest four strings, with on/off muting with the barré finger. If you don't like barré chords ignore the sharps and play it Dm, C and Gm with an F in the bridge.

Running down corridors through automatic doors Got to get to you, got to see this through I see hope is here in a plastic box I seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes With a tear in your eyes Running down corridors through automatic doors Got to get to you, got to see this through First night of your life curled up on your own Looking at you now you would never know
