Key: B major Solo: B minor pentatonic with some major scale riffs [Intro] |E D B7 |A G E |E D B7 |A G E | [Verse 1]
               B9
Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race
                      G#m7  E9                E D B7   A G E   E D B7   A G E
Feels like I'm losing time,    at a breakneck pace
[Verse 2]
                 B9
Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge
                   G#m7      E9                     E D B   E D B
Thank God it never found me,    would have been the end
[Chorus]
             E9                        B9
Walkin' the tightrope, steppin on my friends

             E9                           B9
Walkin' the tightrope, was a shame and a sin

             E9                           B9
Walkin' the tightrope, between wrong and right

             A        E9              B9
Walkin' the tightrope,   both day and night

                B9
Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend We've all had our problems, that's the way life is
                     G#m7   E9                        E D B   E D B
My heart goes out to others,   who are there to make amends

Walkin' the tightrope, bring it all around

Walkin' the tightrope, streched around the world

             E9                           B9
Walkin' the tightrope, save the boys and girls

             E9                       B9
Walkin' the tightrope, let's make it right
