Tightrope

 

Intro. (E D B7 / A G E)

 

1. Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath. (B9)
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat.
Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race.
Feels like I'm losing time at a breakneck pace. (G#m7, E9)

 

2. Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace.
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face.
There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge.
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end.

 

(E D B7 / E D B7)

 

Refr. Walking the tight rope, stepping on my friends. (E9 B9)
Walking the tight rope, was a shame and a sin.
Walking the tight rope, between wrong and right.
Walking the tight rope, both day and night. (A E9)

 

Solo

 

3. Looking back in front of me, in the mirror's a grin.
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really looking at a friend.
We’ve all had our problems, that's the way life is.
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends.

 

 

Refr.2 We've been walking the tightrope, trying to make it right.
Walking the tight rope, every day and every night.
Walking the tight rope, bring it all around.
Walking the tight rope from the lost and found.

 

Refr.3 Walking the tight rope, stretching ‘round the world.
Walking the tight rope, save the boys and the girls.
Walking the tight rope, let's make it right.
Walking the tight rope, do it, do it tonight.

 

End. Walking the tightrope (repeat)
