Bm G D A

[Verse 1]
Bm           G       D                 A
I can't be everything that you want me to
Bm                    G          D                 A
Fill my mind up with silly dreams is all I seem to do
Bm                             G                       D                 A
And people look like they're specks of dust when you're this high off the ground
Bm                      G
I'll do my best not to let you down
    D                  A
So feet don't fail me now cause


[Chorus]
Bm                G
I am walking the tightrope
      D              A
I am walking it for you
Bm              G
I am living on high hopes
      D                              A
Now they're, now they're crashing through
  Bm
So I hold my breath
G
And close my eyes
D              A
I grab my heart when I realize
Bm                G             D   A
I am walking the tightrope for you


[Verse 2]
Bm                 G
I'm fighting with gravity
D              A
Trying not to fall
Bm                G          D                   A
But how come the ones we love can make us feel so small?
Bm                             G                      D                  A
Oh, people look like they're specks of dust when you're this high off the ground
Bm                    G
But everyone's got a line to walk
           D                  A
We got to keep from looking down, oh


[Chorus]
Bm                G
I am walking the tightrope
      D              A
I am walking it for you
Bm              G
I am living on high hopes
      D                              A
Now they're, now they're crashing through
  Bm
So I hold my breath
G
And close my eyes
D              A
I grab my heart when I realize
Bm                G             D   A
I am walking the tightrope for you


[Bridge]
         Bm                G
Oh, the higher we go, the farther we fall
     D                          A
Two hearts on the line and the winner takes all
     Bm                    G
But nobody wins when it's all just a show
     D                     A                        G
I'm losing my grip, gonna slip, now it's time to let go


[Chorus]
Bm                G
I am walking the tightrope
      D              A
I am walking it for you
Bm              G
I am living on high hopes
      D                              A
Now they're, now they're crashing through
  Bm
So I hold my breath
G
And close my eyes
D              A
I grab my heart when I realize
Bm                G             D                 A   Bm  G  D
I am walking the tightrope for you, for you, for you, oh
     A           Bm  G  D  A
I'm walking the tightrope, oh
     A           Bm  G  D  A
I'm walking the tightrope


[Outro]
Bm                G             D
I am walking the tightrope for you
