This is the story on how we lived
The glory of what we did
It started when we were kids
With music up in our heads
She said
Verse 1
Am C G
I've been out on the edge
D
Breathin a little bit of fresh air
Am C G
Big dreams, I took a chance
D
Held out for everything i've got here
Pre-Chorus
Am C G
I've been feeling this life's a circus
D
Hangin on without a fear
Am
Livin on a high wire
C
Runnin through a wildfire
G D
You can't shake me, I'm not goin nowhere
Am
Walkin on a tight rope
C
No net, high hopes
G D
Step back, I'm gonna make it over
Am C
Na na na na na na na
G D
Na na livin on a high wire
Am C
Na na na na na na na
G D
Na na livin on a high wire
This is the story of how we lived
The glory of what we did
It started when we were kids
With music up in our heads
She said
(Verse 2: Same as Verse 1)
Big top, turnin around, no clowns
Im runnin as I hit the ground
Front row, big show is sold out
So I'm ready for the crowd roar, lets go
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)

When it comes to the beat
Seeing that the heads are moving
Move off your seat
Achievement is what we're really doing
Freedom of speech
I'm in it just to win it
I'm springin' and I can see it
In the end that you can be it
'Cause it's patience, it's statements
Famous greatness
Movin' 'til you make it through
And maybe you can make it too
(No guitar until chords start again)
Livin on a high wire
Can't shake me I'm not goin nowhere

Walking a tight rope no net high hopes

Step back I'm gonna make it over
