Intro: C5 - B5 

                    E5 
I'm up on the tightwire 
                A5 
one side's ice and one is fire 
        C5        G5                             F#5     B5 
its a circus game with you and me 
                    E5 
I'm up on the tightrope 
                A5 
one side's hate and one is hope 
            C5                   G5                   D5 
but the top hat on my head is all you see 
            B5 
And the wire seems to be  
              E5 
the only place for me 
   B5                                C5 
a comedy of errors and I'm falling 

 *  * Chorus *  *  
           G5                D5 
Like a rubber-neck giraffe  
        E5             D5 
you look into my past 
        C5                                               B5 
well maybe you're just to blind to - see 
                    E5 
I'm up in the spotlight 
                  A5 
ohh does it feel right 
             C5          G5                         F#5   B5 
ohh the altitude seems to get to me 
                     E5 
I'm up on the tightwire 
                 A5 
flanked by life and the funeral pyre 
           C5       G5                   D5          
putting on a show for you to see
