C5     G5          F5     C5  
Bright lights and funny clowns. 
 F5                    C5        G5 
Hammin' it up on the circus grounds.  
 C5 G5    F5    C5  
Horses, big parades.  
        F5                 C5       G5  
Such a pretty sight this love we made.  
     D5           F5             C5  
From way up here life's just a ball. 
     D5        C5      F5                G5  
With you by my side, love is worth the fall.  
 

        C5           G5           F5  
So we're tap dancing on the highwire.  
             C5  
We could go tumbling down. 
C5                      D5  
But something makes me want to go higher. 
             F5         D5  
Think it's having you around.  
F5          G5      C5    F5       C5  
Oh, get a look at us playing with fire. 
F5             G5              C5  
Oh, we're tapdancing on the highwire. 
 
Big applause, from the crowd out here. 

Watching our hearts hang in mid-air.  

No strings and no fears.  

Keeps our love suspended up here. 
 
We know we could loose this balance and fall. 

But a heart that don't dance ain't a real heart at all. 
   

        C5           G5           F5  
So we're tap dancing on the highwire.
