[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G D G
I work the high wire in the center ring,
Cadd9 G D G
Defying gravity, that's my thing,
Cadd9 G D G
Guess I never wanted no regular life,
Cadd9 G D G
I couldn't stand to be nobody's wife!
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G D G
Some people tell me that I'm living their dream,
Cadd9 G D G
Things in the circus ain't what they seem,
Cadd9 G D Em7
Believe me, darling, it's a lonely world,
Cadd9 G D G
It ain't easy for a ...circus girl!

[Verse 3]
Cadd9 G D G
Nobody knows you when you come to town,
Cadd9 G D G
You're somebody's hero, or you're somebody's clown,
Cadd9 G D Em7
And you hope like hell it'll be e - nough,
Cadd9 G D G
'Cause you're ...nobody's baby when the sun comes up!
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G
You can ...dazzle 'em with beauty,
Cadd9 G
Make 'em ...laugh until they cry,
Cadd9 Em7
You can ...give 'em the thrill of a lifetime,
Am Em7 Cadd9 Csus2 Cadd9 Csus2 Cadd9
But they always say good - bye!
[Verse 4]
Cadd9 G D G
It's just that sometimes I get so tired...
Cadd9 G D G
...Of going nowhere on that ...little wire,
Cadd9 G D Em7
I'd like to plant my feet on ...solid ground,
Cadd9 G D G
But God have mercy, it's a long way down!

[Verse 5]
Cadd9 G D G
So I climb the ladder, right on up to the sky,
Cadd9 G D G
I don't look down, and I don't ask why,
Cadd9 G D Em7
And just for a moment, I'm on top of the world------,
Cadd9 G D G
Yeah, ...just for a moment, I'm a ...circus girl!
