[Intro] F G Am Am G F F G Am G
       F    G        Am              Am     G         F  
I woke up before the sun Chased your ghost across the yard 

            F        G       Am                 G
Through the fog and tumbling dark 'til you were gone  

         F     G      Am              Am     G      F 
Virginia I can hardly breathe I've forgotten how to sleep 

         F          G         Am               G        G  
And your face still haunts my dreams when I'm alone   
[Chorus]
           Am           F               C               G  
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire Too far off the ground       

        Am        F                    C              G    
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth       

        Am            F                C         G 
Yes I'm walking on a tightrope wire So afraid to fall 

        Am              F                G  
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all 
[Interlude] F G Am Am G F F G Am G
    F        G      Am                      Am         G        F
The things I gave away          They're not     coming back for me

          F            G      Am                    G
Should've learned from my mistakes      but I never do

     F        G    Am             Am   G      F
As I lay here all alone    I hang up before I call

      F      G      Am                      G
And admit to all my faults      to pass the time
[Chorus]
           Am           F               C               G  
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire Too far off the ground       

        Am        F                   C              G    
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth       

        Am            F            C             G 
Yes I'm walking on a tightrope wire So afraid to fall 

        Am              F                G  
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all

          F        G       Am              Am    G     F  
There's a place we used to go           Today  I went alone 

             F       G       Am                      G
If there's a message in this song       Well I don't know  
[Chorus] (Return to normal strum pattern)
