Lyrics
You got (Gm)wires
go ing in,
you got (F)wires
com ing out of your skin.
You got (Gm)tears
mak ing tracks,
I got (F)tears
that are scared of the facts.
Run ning down cor ri dors, through
au to ma tic doors;
got to get to you,
got to see this through.
I see hope is here
in a plas tic box.
I’ve seen Christ mas lights
re flect in your eyes.

About “Wires”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Wires"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Wires" by Athlete played in?
- Wires is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Wires"?
- The arrangement plays at 67 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Wires" easy to play on piano?
- This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.
- Can I download sheet music for "Wires"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Wires"?
- "Wires" was originally performed by Athlete. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Wires" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 67 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
