[Verse 1]
Ab                               C#             F#7
I've been here all night waiting by the phone
Ab                              C#         F#7
Wishing and hoping maybe you'd call
Ab                               C#                  F#7
It would break my heart if you said we're through
Cm                                      Fm      Bbm
And all my tears like rain would surely fall


[Chorus]
Bbm               Ab
I'm walking this tightrope
Ab     C#                  F#7
And I just can't stand the pain
F#7                   Ab
I'll be walking this tightrope
Ab        C#            F#7
Till the time I see you again
        E               Bbm           C#           Ab
So I'm praying  Yes I'm praying  Come back to me


[Verse 2]
Ab                             C#             F#7
I've been down so low since you went away
Ab                                 C#          F#7
Can't find no bright side I can look on
Ab                                     C#             F#7
There's no relief that comes with the break of day
   Cm                                       Fm     Bbm
My heart just keeps on singing this same sad song


[Chorus]
Bbm               Ab
I'm walking this tightrope
Ab     C#                  F#7
And I just can't stand the pain
F#7                   Ab
I'll be walking this tightrope
Ab        C#            F#7
Till the time I see you again
        E               Bbm           C#           Ab
So I'm praying  Yes I'm praying  Come back to me


[Bridge]
C#           Cm          Bbm
I'll do whatever it takes
Bbm         Fm
Darling you know that I'm willing
     C#          Cm                Bbm
Cause having you here with me makes
Bbm
My whole life worth living


[Verse 3]
Ab                             C#             F#7
I don't care right now who was right or wrong
Ab                       C#          F#7
I don't want to fight anymore
Ab                         C#             F#7
I've give anything just to hear your voice
Cm                                  Fm     Bbm
To see the sight of your face at my door


[Chorus]
Bbm               Ab
I'm walking this tightrope
Ab     C#                  F#7
And I just can't stand the pain
F#7                   Ab
I'll be walking this tightrope
Ab        C#            F#7
Till the time I see you again
        E               Bbm           C#           Ab
So I'm praying  Yes I'm praying  Come back to me
        E               Bbm           C#           Ab
So I'm praying  Yes I'm praying  Come back to me
        E               Bbm           C#           Ab
So I'm praying  Yes I'm praying  Come back to me
