Intro: F G Em Am 
  
F                            G 
Well deep in the woods Where nothing is seen 
 Em                           F 
A tightrope is strung to his heel 
 F                        G 
And high on the walk He's down on one knee 
 Em                           F 
He waits for the slow of the breeze 
F   G     Em          F 
Oh, wow, look at him now, on his feet 
 G    Em        F 
High up in the sky 
 
 
F                Dm 
And every moment stands endlessly 
   Am                          G 
It feels as though time isn't moving 
F                   Dm 
And every second, one breath not to breathe 
  Am                       G 
I watch as he moves to the beat

F                         G 
While I'm on the floor I watch from my seat 
   Em                          F 
And watch as he sways with the trees 
  F                           G 
And slowly he moves, but so elegantly 
    Em                     F            
I'm more on the edge of my seat 
 
 
         F      G 
On the tightrope 
Em            Am 
Everything's bare 
F             G        Em           Am 
All that there is is from here to there 
        F       G 
On the tightrope 
Em                Am 
The goal is quite clear 
F              G         Em  Am   F G Em Am F G Em Am 
Don't lose yourself in your fear

C                     C9 
Everyone waits on the walk 
          F    
Some are long and some small 
    G 
But all of them tall 
C                     C9 
Everyone must make a choice 
     F 
Will I go for it all 
C9            F 
And possibly fall 
 

F 
The tightrope is thin 
        G                       F G Em Am 
I could possibly win on the walk  
 
 
F                      G 
Well high on the walk The tightrope it bends 
Em                       F 
And nobody knows where it ends 
F                      G 
To win or to lose You're all on your own 
Em               F 
Everyone must be alone
