Intro: C - B7
Em
I'm up on the tightwire
Am
one side's ice and one is fire
C G F#m B7
its a circus game with you and me
Em
I'm up on the tightrope
Am
one side's hate and one is hope
C G D
but the top hat on my head is all you see
Bm
And the wire seems to be
Em
the only place for me
Bm C
a comedy of errors and I'm falling
**Chorus**
G D/F#
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
Em D
you look into my past
C B7
well maybe you're just to blind to - see
Em
I'm up in the spotlight
Am
ohh does it feel right
C G F#m B7
ohh the altitude seems to get to me
Em
I'm up on the tightwire
Am
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
C G D
putting on a show for you to see
Interlude: Bm - C
G D/F#
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
Em D
you look into my past
C B7
well maybe you're just too blind to - see
Em
I'm up in the spotlight
Am
ohh does it feel right
C G F#m B7
ohh the altitude really gets to me
Em
I'm up on the tightwire
Am
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
C G F#m B7
putting on a show for you to see
