        E                                  E7sus4              A
You should have been an angel, it would have suited you,
       Dsus2               A               Dsus2       Asus2      E5        E5    
My gold leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do.
          E                              E7sus4                   A
In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets,
   Dsus2                A                     Asus2      E5          E5    Dsus2
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete.
           Dsus2                   Asus2                 E5   E5    
And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet.
                Dsus2
Can there be more in this world,
         Asus2                  B5alt
Than the joy of just watching you sleep'
I don't know just what to feel,
                                E          E7sus4
Won't someone tell me my love is real'

[Verse]
E                     Dsus2
Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand,
A                                    D    A        E
Waiting for the waves to come and re-claim the land.
E                       Dsus2
Will the sun shine, all sweetness and light,
A                        Dsus2 Asus2   E
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satelite.

[Chorus 1]
        E               Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
A                               Dsus2         E
Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found,
A
I don't know how to stop, and it's a
G        Bm   E5
Long, long, long, long way down.

[Instrumental]
E   D    A   E    E5    E5  

[Verse]
          E5                       Dsus2
She's all that ever mattered and all that ever will,
       A                        Dsus2   Asus2   E
My cup it runneth over, I'll never  get my  fill.
        E                          Dsus2
The boats in the harbour slip from their chains,
A                        Dsus2   Asus2  E
Head for new horizons, lets      do the   same.

[Chorus 2]
        E               Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
A                               Dsus2         E
Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found,
  A
I don't know how to stop,

[Verse]
                 E              Dsus2
And it's a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
A                               Dsus2         E
Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found,
A
I don't know how to stop, and it's a
G        Bm   E5
Long, long, long, long way down.
