AmI must admit it's a Cbalancing act
It looks Emdangerous, that's pGart of it
Remember, Fdon't look down
C,  Bdiminished
AmYou and I standing in a Ccrowded room
We were Empressed together but we're Gholding on
Like we're all Fthat was, That's all there was
C,  Bdiminished, Am, G, F, Dm, 
Em, F  
  CIn a flash of Glight
We were Dmdrunk, we were having a Ffight
I was Cwrong, that Gdon't mean you were Fright
  CThen you played that Gsong
It was a Dmthousand seconds Flong
It didn't Cend, it seemed to Gplay on all Fnight
'Cause Dmif I remember Gright I fell asEmleep there
AmRainclouds passed and Cdarkened more
EmAn evening touched by Gwaiting for the Fsky burst
AmStorms had gathered in Ccrushing lines
I sEmurrendered to a Gway that I remFembered you
That's all there was
C,  Bdiminished, Am, G, F, Dm, 
Em, F  
  CIf I were forced to Gchoose
What DmI have, I have to Flose
I Cneed love, that Gdon't mean I need Fyou
  CIt started with that Gsong
It was a Dmthousand seconds Flong
It didn't Cend 'cause wGe never got Fthrough
And did you think that I had Cplanned it all Galong,
EmHoping not to Fbe alone?
Well I was Cthere on the Gedge of the rFush
And did you leave because you Cthought that I would Gstay,
EmStricken with a Fholy fright?
And it was Cclear as the Gnight in the Fcold
   DmAnd I won't ever know Gwhat you're afraid Emof
