CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G B7 C G
You're on a [B7]highwire[C]
And I'm climbing [Asus2]out
And [G]I feel the [D]danger
As [C]I steal a [G]kiss from your [Am]mouth[C][G]
And I will try to hold [B7]steady[C]
Wanna make you be[Asus2]lieve
That the [G]height of this [D]tightrope
Is [C]just second [G]nature to [D]me[C][G6][Am]
CHORUS:
But I will [G]break all my [G/F#]bones
'Cause I [C]lied about the vertigo
And I [Am]have never [C]been up this [D]high[C][G6][Am]
There'll be [G]no safety [C]net
When I [G]fall right [G/F#]out of the [Em]sky
There will [Am]be no ambulance [C]waiting
But I [D]have no wings to fly[G]
And we will meet on the [B7]borders[C]
Barefoot an[Asus2]d blessed
In [G]colourful [D]graveyards
With [C]flower bou[G]quets for the [Am]dead[C][G]
And I don't ask you to [B7]promise[C]
That I will not come[Asus2] to harm
But when the [G]wind tugs my [D]courage
Will [C]you be my [G]brother in [D]arms?[C][G6][Am]
CHORUS:
'Cause I will [G]break all my[G/F#] bones
'Cause I [C]lied about the vertigo
And I [Am]have never [C]been up this [D]high[C][G6][Am]
There'll be [G]no safety [C]net
When I [G]fall right [G/F#]out of the [Em]sky
There will [Am]be no ambulance [C]waiting
But I [D]have no wings to fly[G]
BRIDGE:
But the [Am]view from this [F]height
High a[C]bove the Ferris wheel [G]lights
May [Am]cause me to [F]sway
But I am [C]teaching myself to be [G]brave
