Lyrics
(B7)I'm up on the (Em7)tight wire.
One side's (Am7)ice and one is fire.
It's (C)a circus (G)game with you and (F#m7)me.
(B7)I'm up on the (Em7)tightrope.
One side's (Am7)hate and one is hope.
But the (C6)tophat on my (G)head is all you see.
(D7)And the (Bm7)wire seems to be the only (Em7)place for me.
A (Bm7)comedy of errors and I'm (C)falling.
Like a (G6)rubber neck (D)giraffe,
you (Em)look into my (D)past.
Well, (C6)baby, you're just too blind to see (B7)I'm up in the (Em7)spotlight.
Oh, does it (Am7)feel right.
Oh, (C6)the (G)altitude seems to get to (F#m7)me.
(B7)I'm up on the (Em7)tight wire,
flanked by (Am7)life and the fun'ral pyre,
(C6)putting on a (G)show for you to see.
(C13)Like (F#m7)a
