Tom: Dm
Gm
When I was just a boy
Gm
My momma told me, "Son:
Dm
You look so serious
C Gm
Smile and have some fun"
Gm
When I was seventeen
Gm
My father let me know
Dm
"Life isn't fun and games
Dm C Gm
Gotta sell your soul!"
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
I don't know how I ended up
Dm
So close to where I started
Gm
I went to war for peace of mind
Dm C
But what's it for?
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm dancing on a tightrope
Dm C
No time to mess around
Gm
Just trying to let my mind go
Dm C
I'm never coming down
[Verse 2]
Gm
I found a preacher man
Gm
To help me understand
Dm
What we are doing here
C Gm
What comes after life?
Gm
And now the years have passed
Gm
Been to the moon and back
Dm
And all I've realized
Dm C Gm
No one knows a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
I don't know how I ended up
Dm
So close to where I started
Gm
I went to war for peace of mind
Dm C
What was it for?
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm dancing on a tightrope
Dm C
No time to mess around
Gm
Just trying to let my mind go
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C
I'm never coming down
[Bridge]
Gm Dm C
Teachers always say stay in between the lines
Gm Dm C
Mamma said be quiet if you can't say something nice
Gm Dm C
Doctors always say take these pills for your health
Gm Dm
But now I can't remember how to think for myself
[Chorus]
Gm
I'm dancing on a tightrope
Dm C
No time to mess around
Gm
Just trying to let my mind go
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C Gm
I'm never coming down
Dm C
I'm never coming down
[Outro]
Gm Gm Dm Am
Gm Gm Dm C
