Tightrope – Ron Pope
Capo 2nd Fret
[Intro]
F G Am Am G F F G Am G G
F G Am Am G F
I woke up before the sun Chased your ghost across the yard
F G Am G
Through the fog and tumbling dark 'til you were gone
F G Am Am G F
Virginia I can hardly breathe I've forgotten how to sleep
F G Am G G
And your face still haunts my dreams when I'm alone
[Chorus]
Am F C G
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire Too far off the ground
Am F C G
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Am F C G
Yes I'm walking on a tightrope wire So afraid to fall
Am F G
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
[Interlude]
F G Am Am G F F G Am G G
F G Am Am G F
The things I gave away They're not coming back for me
F G Am G
Should've learned from my mistakes but I never do
F G Am Am G F
As I lay here all alone I hang up before I call
F G Am G
And admit to all my faults to pass the time
[Chorus]
Am F C G
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire Too far off the ground
Am F C G
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Am F C G
Yes I'm walking on a tightrope wire So afraid to fall
Am F G
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
[Instrumental Break]
F C G Am G x3
F C G
(One Strum Each Chord)
F G Am Am G F
There's a place we used to go Today I went alone
F G Am G
If there's a message in this song Well I don't know
[Chorus]
(Return to normal strum pattern)
Am F C G
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire Too far off the ground
Am F C G
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Am F C G
Yes I'm walking on a tightrope wire So afraid to fall
Am F G
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
Am F C G
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire Too far off the ground
Am F C G
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Am F C G
Yes I'm walking on a tightrope wire So afraid to fall
Am F G
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure
Am F G F G Am
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
Am G F
it doesn’t matter at all
F G Am |G |G
