[Verse 1]
C                         G                      Am      G* F
There was a crack in your smile the day you were born
C                 G                        Am      G* F
You're out on the pull and it's making you yawn
C               G               Am      G* F
Good samaritans never play their part
C    G                    Am           G*   F
Come round, let me put my hands around your heart

[Chorus 1]
C   G          Am         G*  F
Livewire, your life is in the fire
C       G             Am
You got everything to play for
G*   F
1-1, half time
C   G         Am             G* F
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
Dm                   Fsus
We got everything to live for

N.C.
Don't kick it all the time

[Bridge]
C                       G               Am      G* F
Standing in the borough markets selling straws
C           G                Am      G* F
People just stare at you and gawp
C                        G
You'd like to say you're wasted,
         Am       G*  F                    Dm          Fsus
but it's not the alcohol that's making you feel like a flat spare wheel

[Chorus 2]
C   G          Am         G*  F
Livewire, your life is in the fire
C       G             Am
You got everything to play for
G* F
1-1, half time
C   G         Am             G* F
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
Dm                   Fsus
We got everything to live for
N.C.
Don't kick it all the time

[Verse 3]
C           G              Am         G*  F
Helicopters hover over the street
C                       G                    Am         G*  F
There's always somebody else you're dying to meet
C                         G
And you're always getting older
           Am               G*  F            Dm   Fsus
That's the deepest thought you can commit to paper

As the nights get later

[Chorus 3]
C   G          Am         G*  F
Livewire, your life is in the fire
C       G             Am
You got everything to play for
G* F
1-1, half time
C   G         Am             G* F
Livewire, the world is yours to hire
Dm                   Fsus
We got everything to live for

Don't kick it all the time
C G Am G*    F
       Don't kick it all the time
