EF#
I walked across a tight rope a thousand miles high
AE
I see it all so clear now that Im on the other side
E(let ring) F#(let ring)
The rope was fraying under my feet as I made my way across
AF# to E
I thought for sure Id fall and break my body on the rocks
F#A
Then seagulls would devour me until I was all gone
F#AF# to E
And Id never get to tell you that I think you are the one
E
Just because, just because, just because, just because
G#/G#
Im dead
AG#/G#A
Doesnt mean that I cant love, doesnt mean that I cant love, doesnt mean that I cant love,
F# to E
Just because
EF#
I knew at once when you walked in that Id never be the same
AE
For better or for worse, youd be to credit or to blame
E(let ring) F#(let ring)
But since Im dead Ill never get to whisper in your ear
AF# to E
These things ill never say and so you will never hear
F#A
Isnt it true that we are all mostly alone,
F#AF# to E
When we listen to the pre recorded tracks on our Casio tones?
E
Just because, just because, just because, just because
G#/G#
Im dead
AG#/G#A
Doesnt mean that I cant love, doesnt mean that I cant love, doesnt mean that I cant love,
F# to E
Just because
EF#
I will not be drunk and all over you this time
AE
Ill behave much better now that I am not alive
E(let ring) F#(let ring)
I just love you that is all so I hope you come to my funeral
A(let ring) E
Ill be the one in the wooden box laying there alone
F#A
I have saved a space for you, well hum a tune about a tomb for two
F# A(let ring)
As they lower our bodies we will rise to that tight rope in the sky
E
Just because, just because, just because, just because
G#/G#
Im dead
AG#/G#A
Doesnt mean that I cant love, doesnt mean that I cant love, doesnt mean that I cant love,
F# to E(let ring)
Just because
