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

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:

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
