CAPO: 4th Fret

INTRO: G B7 C G

You’re on a highwire
And I’m climbing out
And I feel the danger
As I steal a kiss from your mouth

And I will try to hold steady
Wanna make you believe
That the height of this tightrope
Is just second nature to me

CHORUS:
But I will break all my [G/F#]bones
‘Cause I lied about the vertigo
And I have never been up this high
There’ll be no safety net
When I fall right [G/F#]out of the sky
There will be no ambulance waiting
But I have no wings to fly

And we will meet on the borders
Barefoot and blessed
In colourful graveyards
With flower bouquets for the dead

And I don’t ask you to promise
That I will not come to harm
But when the wind tugs my courage
Will you be my brother in arms?

CHORUS:
‘Cause I will break all my[G/F#] bones
‘Cause I lied about the vertigo
And I have never been up this high
There’ll be no safety net
When I fall right [G/F#]out of the sky
There will be no ambulance waiting
But I have no wings to fly

BRIDGE:
But the view from this height
High above the Ferris wheel lights
May cause me to sway
But I am teaching myself to be brave

INSTRUMENTAL: B7 C A G D C G D

CHORUS:
But I may break all my [G/F#]bones
‘Cause I lied about the vertigo
And I have never been up this high
There’ll be no safety net
When I fall right [G/F#]out of the sky
There will be no ambulance waiting
But I have no wings to fly
