Dm C
Tightrope walking to you
G
With my heart on my sleeve
Dm C Bb C
And your words in both hands
Dm G
I'm losing my balance

And the clowns are all screaming

Don't look down
Am G F Csus C
And I'll do the whole act
Dm A Am
With a smile on my face

Though the ringmaster's
Csus C Bsus B
Betting against me
[Chorus]
Em D/F# G
I'll hold on
D C
To whatever I can
C D Em D B
Anything's better than nothing

I'll hold on
D C
For whatever it's worth
D Em
For whatever I'm worth
D
And that's nothing
G
Ready the net

As the lions are let from their cages

Tightrope running from you

With a lump in my throat

And you won't ever understand

It's been a good show

But I must have been dreaming
