D G/B C
We won't be dancing together on the high wire
D G/B C
Facing the lions with you at my side anymore
D G/B C
We won't be breathing the smoke and the fire
Gsus4 G
On a midway
D
Hangin' from the trapeze
G/B C
My wrists waitin' for your wrists
D G/B C
Two daredevils high upon the wall of death
D G/B C
You throwin' the knife that lands inches from my heart
Gsus4 G
Sun down

Em
Moon rise, moon rise
D C G C G
The light that was in your eyes has gone away
Em
Daybreak, daybreak
D C G C G
The thing in you that made me ache has gone to stay
D G/B C
We'll be riding the train without you tonight
D
The train that keeps on movin'
G/B C
Its black smoke scorching the evening sky
D G/B C
A million stars shining above us like every soul livin' and dead
D
Has been gathered together by a God to
G/B C
sing a hymn over your bones
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Sun down, sun down
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Empty are the fairgrounds
C G Gsus4 G
Where are you now my handsome Billy?
