[Em] I'm up on a tight rope, one [C] side's hate and one is hope.
But the top hat on [G] my head is all you [D] see. _ _
[Bm] And the wire seems to be the [Em] only place for me.
[Bm] A comedy of errors and [C] I'm falling [G] like a rubberneck [D] giraffe.
[Em] You look into [D] my pants, [C] well baby you're just too blind to [B] see.
I'm up [Em] in the spotlight, oh [C] does it feel right?
Well the [G] altitude seems to get [F#] to me.
