I'm just a man on a wire, oh

G
Who'd have thought about the cause and effect?

      Cadd9
No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling

I will fall to the ground
If I even see you

'Cos I ...
[Chorus]

My heart is in my throat

                Em7                        Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you

As long as the wind blows

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

I'm just a man on a wire, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
       Cadd9
When I walk that line
I'll try to keep my senses
        Em7
Make it to the other side

I know the consequences and I

[Bridge]
    D         Em7
The higher I get

    C                  G
The more I miss the ground

No safety nets

I have to keep walking

To keep me from falling down
