B7 C
You're on a highwire
Asus2
And I'm climbing out
G D
And I feel the danger
C G Am C G
As I steal a kiss from your mouth

And I will try to hold steady

Wanna make you believe
G D
That the height of this tightrope

Is just second nature to me
CHORUS:

But I will break all my bones

'Cause I lied about the vertigo

When I fall right out of the sky
Am C
There will be no ambulance waiting
D G
But I have no wings to fly
B7 C
And we will meet on the borders
Asus2
Barefoot and blessed
G D
In colourful graveyards
C G Am C G
With flower bouquets for the dead
B7 C
And I don't ask you to promise
Asus2
That I will not come to harm

But when the wind tugs my courage
C G D C G6 Am
Will you be my brother in arms?
