Intro: Bb,x4
Gm,x2 D, C
Verse 1:
Bb
I was like, "What you want me to do?"
She was like, "What, you want me to choose?"
Gm D C
I was like, "Well I didn't say that, but you know, help me help you."
I'm on that balance beam to keep you happy,
Or say fuck it stay mad at me,
You know how that goes, drink, fight, patch things up in the back of a taxi,
She can skate thin ice on wheels, and no once get wet,
She could walk 5 miles in heels, not one foot out of step,
And I swear I'll leave you swept, off your feet it's just I guess,
I'm falling hard myself here, yeah, over my head.
Chorus:
Bb Gm F D
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and
Bb F F D
every step could be the one where I fall,
Bb Gm F D
It's like I'm running with a blindfold, and
Bb Gm F D
I could be wrong, but I don't know, I don't know,
Verse 2:
Bb
Headed for the deep end, Thursday we fight and forget it by the weekend,
Gm D C
Fast learner, I figured out quick, with her it's not the gettin', it's the keepin',
Cause she's a gem, so everyone wants her shinin' with them,
Gettin' my bulldog on bro, mind your step, keep it on your side of the fence,
I play my demo's, one last once, Smile if she likes it, laugh if it sucks,
Cold blooded, she the first in my corner, but now, whats that if it ain't called love,
When it's all said and done, baby aint happy till my heads spun,
So I might get lucky, I might get none, like I'm right back at square one.
Chorus:
Bb Gm F D Bb Gm F D
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and every step could be the one where I fall,
Bb Gm F D Bb Gm F
It's like I'm running with a blindfold, and I can't help to feel that I'm about to lose
D
control,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold, rolling with my eyes closed,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and I could be wrong, but I don't know, I don't know,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, (it's like I'm walking on a tightrope)
and every step could be the one where I fall, (and every step could be the one where I fall)
It's like I'm running with a blindfold, (It's like I'm running with a blindfold)
and I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold, rolling with my eyes closed,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and I could be wrong, and I could be wrong,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and every step could be the one where I fall,
It's like I'm running with a blindfold, and I can't help to feel that I'm about to lose control,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold, rolling with my eyes closed,
It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and I could be wrong, but I don't know, I don't know.
