   G              D              G              D 
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |


           G                                              D
There's a man out here puts his head in the mouth of a crocodile,
           G                                                   D
Puts the whole thing in, takes it out, and gives the crowd a great big smile,
          Em                                                   D
And they walk away with their illusions of safety safely in - tact,
          G                                               D
And they tell their little wide eyed kids, "It's only an act!"

 
           G                                                D
There's a man out here throws knives at a wheel, with a blindfold on,
          G                                                    D
And the wheel spins round, and the knives bear down till they find their home,
           Em                                               D
And I can feel the rush, and the whoosh, of every blade of steel,
G                                       D
   'Cause I am the woman on the wheel-----!

 
         G                                              D
Some - times I get lonely, sometimes I get scared, but most times bored,
         G                                                      D
Some - times I ask God, "Please, God, just show me what's be - hind that door!",
      Em                                              D
As if God was Monty Hall, and this was 'Let's make a deal',
G                                    D
   And I am the woman on the wheel-------!


          G                           D
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!
          G                           D
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!


        G                                             D
Had a sweet little baby in Coeur D'Alene, he was an acrobat,
         G                                             D
Took me out on the wire, man, I never knew love could feel like that,
             G                                                    D
But, in the end, he was a man who couldn't keep his feet on the ground too long,
        G                                        D
In the end it's just another highwire act gone wrong!


         G                                                        D
So it's on with the show, and it's send in the clowns, and the trapeze act,
          G                                                D
And it's more of the same, and it's less of a game than a cold... hard... fact,
Em                                               D
Most times, it's better not to ask myself how I feel,
       G                                     D
Oh--,      I'm just the woman on the wheel------!


          G                               D
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!
          G                          
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!

Now I know what you're thinking, as the knives fly by, and they find their mark,
                  G                                                    D
You're thinking, one false move, and it's a real bad day at the a - musement park,
               G                                          D
You wouldn't wanna be me, but you need me just the same,
         G                                               D
To re - mind you what you stand to lose, and what you stand to gain!


      G                                             D
They say I've got a death wish, yeah, but I don't think that's true,
    G                                         D
As far as I can see, it's less about me, and more about you,
             Em                                                D
You see, it ain't your fears, so much as what your fears re - veal,
G                              D
   I'm just the woman on the wheel!


          G                           D
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!
          G                           D
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!
          G                           D
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!
