Intro: Am, G, F
Am G F
Balance on a wire, High above the earth tonight
Am G F
Looking for an answer, finding not one in sight.
Am G F
Slowly falling, into my emotion, drowning in an ocean, i cant find you
Am G F
Balance on a wire, High above the earth tonight
PREChorus
G C F
Now i'm hanging by a thread, but i've never felt so alive
G C F
And to the very last minute we will always be death defying
Chorus (on their acoustic tour he switches to the C real quick)
C
Caught in the act of flying solo
G
This acrobat is lost and i dont
F
Know where ill land
G
As i reach for your hand
C
All of the lights can be so blinding
G
But everytime i jump you always find me
F
Without a net
G
So please dont forget
F D
Cause right now im out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
Am, G, F x2
Am G F
Tell me not to look down and promise that youre gonna stay
Am G F
Spinning like a top now feeling like im gonna break, into nothing
Am G F
Tell me that there's still hope while im back up on the tight rope, faster and faster
Am G F
Balance on a wire, high above the earth tonight
PREChorus
G C F
And it doesnt make sense how me and you still survive
G C F
And to the very last minute we will always be death defying
Chorus
C
Caught in the act of flying solo
G
This acrobat is lost and i dont
