Tabbed by GazzaAUS
I got the lyrics from listening to the song so let me know if there are any errors.
Enjoy!
[Intro]
Dm C Am Bb Dm
C Am Bb Dm
[Verse 1]
C Am
It was the strangest night
Bb Dm
The kinda scene I don't fit into
C Am
It didn't feel so right
Bb Dm
But you came back 'round
C Am
Drifting across my sight
Bb Dm
Some apparition of make believe
C Am Bb
I felt my chest go tight and I'm tumbling
[Chorus]
C Dm Bb
And you said hey baby hold my hand down on the wire
Dm C Dm Bb
Oh I'm telling you the whole thing it's just a breaking of desire
Dm C Dm Bb
You inevitably hold on cause you always do
Dm C
Gotta walk that wire
C Am Bb Dm X2
[Verse 2]
C Am
Oh I'm talking in tongues cause I'm not made of steel
Bb Dm
Somebody save me from myself
C Am Bb Dm
I'm just a man alright and I'm fumbling
C Am
With all this faded light
Bb Dm
Maybe the moment to make my move
C Am Bb
You hold your breath so tight as you're tumbling
[Chorus]
C Dm Bb
And I said hey baby hold my hand down on the wire
Dm C Dm Bb
I've telling you the whole time it's just a breaking of desire
Dm C Dm Bb
Now I promise you'll be brave too because you've earned that right
Dm C
Gotta walk that wire
[Solo]
C Am Bb Dm X2

C
Something in the air right
Am Bb
You were steady as you walked away
Dm C
And we're never gonna know right
Am Bb
But it's better than the other way
[Chorus]
C Dm Bb
And I said hey baby hold my hand down on the wire
Dm C Dm Bb
See you never would've held on without the aching of desire
Dm C C Dm Bb Dm
Know there's heaven in a folk song so just keep holding on because you're dancing on the wire
C Am Bb Dm
C Am Bb
