The version on here isnt great. Bits are right but a fair few bits arnt, so thought i'd
it up :)

Intro

A (x02220@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D A (x02220@1)name="chord_320003@1">G x2

Verse

I play the opening D in the following style;

3 3 2 2 0 2
3 3 3 3 3 3
2 2 2 2 2 2
0 0 0 0 0 0
x x x x x x
x x x x x x

That plays periodically during the whole song. Everywhere you see D~ written below, 
where it needs to be played.

D* means play the following

2 2 0 0
3 3 3 3
2 2 2 2
0 0 0 0
x x x x
x x x x

D~ D
   Chose a life in circuses
D~ D
   Jumped into the deepest end
D* A
   Pushing himself to all extremes
   G (320003@1)      A (x02220@1)  Made it, people became his friend.
D~ D
   Now they stood and noticed him
D~ D
   Wanted to be part of it
D* A
   Pulled out some poor machinery
   G (320003@1)    A (x02220@1)  So he, worked 'til the pieces fit.

Bridge:

Following the verse, it plays through the D~ pattern described above, and then into;

5 5 3 3 2
3 3 3 3 3
2 2 2 2 2
0 0 0 0 0
x x x x x
x x x x x
		      GThe (320003@1)people were intrigued
			  DHis (xx0232@1)wife held back her fears
			GThe (320003@1)headlines gave acclaim
		      D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)  GHe'd (320003@1)realized their dreams.

Chorus:
A (x02220@1)            C (x32010@1)          GFaster (320003@1)than a bullet from a gun
       D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)  Bm (x24432@1) GHe (320003@1)is faster than everyone
A (x02220@1)   C (x32010@1)           GQuicker (320003@1)than the blinking of an eye
         D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)           BmLike (x24432@1)a flash you could miss him going by
        DNo (xx0232@1)one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
          A (x02220@1)             Bm (x24432@1)    GHe's (320003@1)the master of going faster.

From here on, its just a repeat of the same stuff from above i think, the order of which 
laid out by Martin's tab

Verse:
Now he moved into the space
That the special people share
Right on the edge of do or die
Where there is nothing left to spare.

Verse:
Still the crowds came pouring in
Some had hoped to see him fail
Filling their hearts with jealousies
Crazy people with love so frail.

Repeat bridge

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
No need to wonder why
His wife held back her fears
So few have even tried
To realize their dreams.

(repeat chorus)

Thats it all. Hope it helps. Any comments, nibblesdamoose [@] gmail [.] com :)
