[Verse 1]
A
Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
C#m
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
D
Now I know, now I know
A E
I'm just a man on a wire
A
Who would have thought I'd be the cause and effect?
C#m
Your steady love is not tomorrow's regrets
D
Now I know, now I know
A E
I'm just a man on a wire
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
No, I can't look down
E
I'm trying to fight the feeling
F#m
I will fall to the ground
A
If I ever see you
D
'Cause I
[Chorus]
E A
Feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
E
My heart is in my throat
F#m D
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you
A
And I've got my eyes closed
E
As long as the wind blows
F#m D
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
A E
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
F#m D
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else?
C#m
Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
D
Now you know, now you know
A E
I'm just a man on a wire
[Pre-Chorus 2]

But I walk that line
E
I try to keep my senses
F#m
Make it to the oher side
A D
I know the consequences and I
[Chorus]
E A
Feel like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
E
My heart is in my throat
F#m D
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you
A
And I've got my eyes closed
E
As long as the wind blows
F#m D
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
A E
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
F#m D
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
A E
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
F#m D
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
[Bridge]
E A
The higher I get
D A
The more I miss the ground
E A
No safetiness
D A
Now you're not around
E A
I have to keep walking
D A E
To keep me from falling down
[Chorus]
A
Feels like I'm walkin' on a tightrope
E
My heart is in my throat
F#m D
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you,you
A
And I've got my eyes closed
E
As long as the wind blows
F#m D
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you,you
A E
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire

I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
