CAPO on 2nd Fret
Verse I:
Who'd have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Who'd have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Now I know,
now I know I'm just a man on a wire
Who'd have thought about the 'cause and effect?
Yesterday's love is not tomorrow's regret
Now I know,
now I know I'm just a man on a wire
Pre-Chorus:
No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
I will fall to the ground
If I ever see you
'Cause I
Chorus:
feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
*optional
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
*optional
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Verse II:
Who'd have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Who'd have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now you know,
now you know I'm just a man on a wire
Pre-Chorus:
But I walk that line
I try to keep my senses
Make it to the other side
I know the consequences
and I
Chorus:
feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Bridge:
The higher it gets oh
The more I miss the ground
No safety nets oh
Now you're not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down yeah..
Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
Chorus:
feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
'Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire yeah.
