Tight Rope

C - B7

[Verse 1]
                    Em7
I'm up on the tightwire
               Am7
One side's ice and one is fire
         C     G               F#m     B7
It's a circus game with you and me

[Verse 2]
                    Em7
I'm up on the tightrope
                Am7
One side's hate and one is hope
         C             G               D
But the top hat on my head is all you see

[Pre-chorus]
        Bm
And the wire seems to be
          Em
The only place for me
   Bm                        C7     C
A comedy of errors and I'm falling

[Chorus]
           G         D/F#
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
     Em           D
You look into my past
        C                                 B7
Well maybe you're just to blind to - see

[Verse 3]
                    Em7
I'm up in the spotlight
                  Am7
Ohh does it feel right
          C        G            F#m   B7
Ohh the altitude seems to get to me

[Verse 4]
                    Em7
I'm up on the tightwire
                Am7
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
   C          G              D
Putting on a show for you to see

[Interlude]
Bm - C

[Chorus]
           G         D/F#
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
     Em           D
you look into my past
       C                                  B7
well maybe you're just too blind to - see

[Verse 5]
                  Em7
I'm up in the spotlight
                  Am7
Ohh does it feel right
         C          G          F#m    B7
Ohh the altitude really gets to me

[Verse 6]
                    Em7
I'm up on the tightwire
                 Am7
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
              C        G    F#m  B7
Putting on a show for you to see
