Lead guitar plays bar chords in chorus [Intro] Dm C Am Bb Dm C Am Bb Dm [Verse 1]
C                             Am
   It was the strangest night

Bb                                   Dm
   The kinda scene I don't fit into

C                         Am
  It didn't feel so right

Bb                        Dm
 But you came back 'round

C                          Am
   Drifting across my sight

Bb                                Dm
  Some apparition of make believe

C                          Am       Bb
   I felt my chest go tight and I'm tumbling
[Chorus]
             C                 Dm       Bb
And you said hey baby, hold my hand down on the wire

        Dm              C                       Dm      Bb
Oh, I'm telling you the whole thing it's just a breaking of desire

       Dm      C                  Dm     Bb
You inevitably hold on 'cause you always do

      Dm        C
Gotta walk that wire
C Am Bb Dm x2 [Verse 2]
                  C                                    Am
Oh I'm talking in tongues 'cause I'm not made of steel

Bb                              Dm
  Somebody save me from myself

C                        Am        Bb      Dm
   I'm just a man alright and I'm fumbling

C                           Am
  With all this faded light

Bb                                Dm
   Maybe the moment to make my move

C                              Am         Bb
  You hold your breath so tight as you're tumbling
[Chorus]
           C                 Dm       Bb
And I said hey baby, hold my hand down on the wire

     Dm                   C                      Dm       Bb
I've been telling you the whole time it's just a breaking of desire

      Dm                C                         Dm        Bb
Now I promise you'll be brave too because you've earned that right

      Dm        C
Gotta walk that wire
[Solo] C Am Bb Dm x2

             C
Something in the air right

         Am            Bb
You were steady as you walked away

          Dm          C
And we're never gonna know right

          Am         Bb
But it's better than the other way
[Chorus]
           C                 Dm        Bb
And I said hey baby, hold my hand down on the wire

        Dm             C                   Dm         Bb
See you never would've held on without the aching of desire

               Dm      C                        C                         Dm      Bb          Dm
Know there's heaven in a folk song so just keep holding on because you're dancing on the wire
C Am Bb Dm C Am Bb
