INTRO: G  B7  C    G

            B7         C
You're on a highwire
                 Asus2
And I'm climbing out
    G          D   
And I feel the danger
   C         G              Am     C   G
As I steal a kiss from your mouth


                       B7       C
And I will try to hold steady
                 Asus2
Wanna make you believe
         G              D   
That the height of this tightrope
   C           G         D  C  G6  Am  
Is just second nature to me


CHORUS:
           G            G/F#
But I will break all my bones
         C
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
      Am         C            D    C  G6  Am
And I have never been up this high
            G         C
There'll be no safety net
       G          G/F#       Em
When I fall right out of the sky
           Am              C 
There will be no ambulance waiting
      D                      G
But I have no wings to fly


                        B7        C
And we will meet on the borders
           Asus2
Barefoot and blessed
   G         D   
In colourful graveyards
     C         G             Am     C   G
With flower bouquets for the dead


                       B7       C
And I don't ask you to promise
                    Asus2
That I will not come to harm
             G            D   
But when the wind tugs my courage
     C         G          D     C  G6  Am  
Will you be my brother in arms?


CHORUS:
              G           G/F#
'Cause I will break all my bones
         C
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
      Am         C            D    C  G6  Am
And I have never been up this high
            G         C
There'll be no safety net
       G          G/F#       Em
When I fall right out of the sky
           Am              C 
There will be no ambulance waiting
      D                      G
But I have no wings to fly


BRIDGE:
        Am             F
But the view from this height
      C                     G
High above the Ferris wheel lights
    Am          F
May cause me to sway
         C                     G
But I am teaching myself to be brave


INSTRUMENTAL: B7  C  A  G  D  C  G  D  


CHORUS:
          G            G/F#
But I may break all my bones
         C
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
      Am         C            D    C  G6  Am
And I have never been up this high
            G         C
There'll be no safety net
       G          G/F#       Em
When I fall right out of the sky
           Am              C 
There will be no ambulance waiting
      D                      G
But I have no wings to fly
