[Verse 1]
                 G5                       B5
I've been a disappointment from time to time
                      G5      B5
I'm prone to swing at mirrors
            G5
I interrupt slow talkers
    B5                 G5      B5
And I need everyone to like me

[Chorus]
                            G                    Em
But I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
                            G                    Em
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
                            G                    Em
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
                            G                 Em
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire

[Verse 2]
                      N.C.
There's nothin' I can say but "I'm sorry" now
                    G             Bm
I'll try to make it up to you somehow
           G                     Bm
But I'm no better than I'll ever be
           G                      Bm
I'm just a beggar down here on my knees

[Chorus]
                            G                    Em
But I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire

No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
                            G                    Em
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire
                            G                 Em
No, I won't fail you when I walk out on the wire

[Bridge]
     Am
It's weighed and (it's weighed and)
     D
It's measured (it's measured)
          G                                  Em
It is the sum of all of life's suffering and pleasures
         Am
And it's laid out (laid out)
        D
For the taking (For the taking)
        G                               Em
And the song is the sound of your heart breaking
        C
Are you listening?
    D
I'm listening
