For chords Em7 and Cadd9 just play a normal Em and C but place your third finger and little
finger on the 3rd fret relative to the capo on the B and E strings. Enjoy!

Capo 2nd Fret


[Verse:]
G
Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Bm
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Cadd9
Now I know, now I know
G D
I'm just a man on a wire, oh

G
Who would have thought I'd be the cause and effect?
Bm
Your steady love is not tomorrow's regrets
Cadd9
Now I know, now I know
G D
I'm just a man on a wire



[Pre-Chorus:]

Cadd9
No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
Em7
I will fall to the ground
If I even see you
G D
'Cos I ...


[Chorus:]
G
Feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope
D
My heart is in my throat
Em7 Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
G
And I've got my eyes closed
D
As long as the wind blows
Em7 Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
G D
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Em7 Cadd9
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire




[Verse:]
G
Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Bm
Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Cadd9
Now you know, now you know
G D
I'm just a man on a wire


[Pre-Chorus]
G
When I walk that line
Bm
I'll try to keep my senses
Cadd9
Make it to the other side
G D
I know the consequences and
I


[Chorus]

G
Feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope
D
My heart is in my throat
Em7 Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
G
And I've got my eyes closed
D
As long as the wind blows
Em7 Cadd9
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
G
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
D
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire


[Bridge]
D Em7
The higher I get
G C
The more I miss the ground
D Em7
No safetiness
G C
Now you're not around
D Em7
I have to keep walking
G C D
To keep me from falling down



[Chorus]

G
Feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope
D
My heart is in my throat
Em7 Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
G
And I've got my eyes closed
D
As long as the wind blows
Em7 Cadd9
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
G
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
D
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
Em7 Cadd9
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire)
