For a closer match to the song, you can pick up the beat, which i can't figure out, or you can use a technique where you play a chord, then half way into the chord you put your hand flat on the strings to stop it, then do that over again until you switch chords. When he raps, you go back to playing the intro. This song is less than 3 minutes and helps to listen to the song on youtube to guide you. Have fun. ;) Intro e|---------------------------------------| B|---1-----------------------------------| G|------2---0---0------------------------| (4x) D|-------------------2---0---------------| A|0-----------------------------3----0---| E|---------------------------------------| This is the story on how we lived The glory of what we did It started when we were kids With music up in our heads She said (Verse 1) Am C G I've been out on the edge D Breathin a little bit of fresh air Am C G Big dreams, I took a chance D Held out for everything i've got here (Pre Chorus) Am C G I've been feeling this life's a circus D Hangin on without a fear (Chorus) Am Livin on a high wire C Runnin through a wildfire G D You can't shake me, I'm not goin nowhere Am Walkin on a tight rope C No net, high hopes G D Step back, I'm gonna make it over Am C Na na na na na na na G D Na na livin on a high wire Am C Na na na na na na na G D Na na livin on a high wire This is the story of how we lived The glory of what we did It started when we were kids With music up in our heads She said Am C G Big top, turnin around, no clowns D Im runnin as I hit the ground Am C G Front row, big show is sold out D So I'm ready for the crowd roar, lets go (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) Bridge (look up a tab for this part) When it comes to the beat Seeing that the heads are moving Move off your seat Achievement is what we're really doing Freedom of speech I'm in it just to win it I'm springin' and I can see it In the end that you can be it 'Cause it's patience, it's statements Famous greatness Movin' 'til you make it through And maybe you can make it too (no guitar) Livin on a high wire Can't shake me I'm not goin nowhere Am C G Walking a tight rope no net high hopes D Step back I'm gonna make it over Am C Na na na na na na na G D Na na livin on a high wire Am C Na na na na na na na G D Am C G D Na na livin on a high wire (yeah yeah) Am C Na na na na na na na G D Am Na na livin on a high wire
