Man On A Wire

• G

For chords Em7 and Cadd9 just play a normal Em and C but place your third finger and little
finger on the 3rd fret relative to the capo on the B and E strings. Enjoy!

Capo 2nd Fret

Verse:
G
Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
Bm
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Cadd9
Now I know, now I know
                    G.    D
I'm just a man on a wire, oh

G
Who would have thought I'd be the cause and effect?
Bm
Your steady love is not tomorrow's regrets
Cadd9
Now I know, now I know
                    G.  D
I'm just a man on a wire

Pre-Chorus:

Cadd9
No, I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling
       Em7
I will fall to the ground
If I even see you
     G. D. 
'Cos I ...

Chorus:

                        G
Feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope
               D
My heart is in my throat
                Em7.                       Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
                G
And I've got my eyes closed
               D
As long as the wind blows
                Em7.                      Cadd9
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you, you
            G.                     D
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
      Em7.                   Cadd9
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire


 

Verse: Repeat same chords (G,Bm, Cadd9, G, D)

Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else?
Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now you know, now you know
I'm just a man on a wire

Pre-Chorus: Repeat same chords (Cadd9, Em7, G, D)
When I walk that line
I'll try to keep my senses
Make it to the other side
I know the consequences and
I 

Chorus: Repeat same chords (G, D, Em7, Cadd9)

Feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you
And I've got my eyes closed
As long as the wind blows
I'm counting on high hope to get me over you, you
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wire

Bridge:
    D.       Em7
The higher I get
    G.              C
The more I miss the ground
D.       Em7
No safetiness
G.             C
Now you're not around
D.             Em7
I have to keep walking
G.                     C.   D
To keep me from falling down

Chorus (G,D,Em7,Cadd9)
