Verse:]
G
Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Bm
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Cadd9
Now I know, now I know
                    G    D
I'm just a man on a wire, oh
G
Who would have thought I'd be the cause and effect?
Bm
Your steady love is not tomorrow's regrets
Cadd9
Now I know, now I know
                    G  D
I'm just a man on a wire
Pre-Chorus:]
Cadd9
No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
       Em7
I will fall to the ground
If I even see you
     G  D
'Cos I ...
Chorus:]
                        G
Feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope
               D
My heart is in my throat
                Em7                        Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
                G
And I've got my eyes closed
               D
As long as the wind blows
                Em7                       Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
            G                      D
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
      Em7                    Cadd9
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
 
Verse:]
G
Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Bm
Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Cadd9
Now you know, now you know
                 G    D
I'm just a man on a wire
Pre-Chorus
G
When I walk that line
Bm
I'll try to keep my senses
Cadd9
Make it to the other side
                 G    D
I know the consequences and
I

To keep me from falling down
