CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: Am G F G C G
CG
It's a three-ring circus on the edge of town
AmC
With hoops and dogs and falling circus clowns
GC
And I'm up on a tightrope and I can't look down
FC
It's a highwire
FCG
It's a highwire
CG
Then the crowd grows quiet, then the crowd grows still
AmC
I whisper, "I love you, and I always will"
GC
Ahh, but you never can tell when you might Jack and Jill
FC
From the highwire
FCG
From the highwire
CHORUS:
GC
This love (this love), this love (this love)
AmF
Is a highwire
GC
This love (this love), this love (this love)
AmF
Is a highwire
GC
This love (this love), this love (this love)
AmF
Is a highwire
CFCG
It's a highwire, it's a highwire
CG
Straight and narrow, stretched hard and tight
AmC
It's a centre shot in the glare of the cold spotlight
GC
And I'm walking a thin line between day and night
FC
On the highwire
FCG
On the highwire
CG
And the hard ground's waiting in the dark below
AmC
And my heart's so heavy and I'm moving slow
GC
And I'm hoping I make it, but you never know
FC
On the highwire
FC
On the highwire
CHORUS:
GC
This love (this love), this love (this love)
AmF
Is a highwire
GC
This love (this love), this love (this love)
AmF
Is a highwire
GC
This love (this love), this love (this love)
AmF
Is a highwire
CFC
It's a highwire, it's a highwire
