           G                                              D 
There's a man out here puts his head in the mouth of a crocodile, 
           G                                                   D 
Puts the whole thing in, takes it out, and gives the crowd a great big smile, 
          Em                                                   D 
And they walk away with their illusions of safety safely in - tact, 
          G                                               D 
And they tell their little wide eyed kids, "It's only an act!" 

  
           G                                                D 
There's a man out here throws knives at a wheel, with a blindfold on, 
          G                                                    D 
And the wheel spins round, and the knives bear down till they find their home, 
           Em                                               D 
And I can feel the rush, and the whoosh, of every blade of steel, 
G                                       D 
   'Cause I am the woman on the wheel-----! 

  
         G                                              D 
Some - times I get lonely, sometimes I get scared, but most times bored, 
         G                                                      D 
Some - times I ask God, "Please, God, just show me what's be - hind that door!", 
      Em                                              D 
As if God was Monty Hall, and this was 'Let's make a deal', 
G                                    D 
   And I am the woman on the wheel-------! 


          G                           D 
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo! 
          G                           D 
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo! 


        G                                             D 
Had a sweet little baby in Coeur D'Alene, he was an acrobat, 
         G                                             D 
Took me out on the wire, man, I never knew love could feel like that, 
             G                                                    D 
But, in the end, he was a man who couldn't keep his feet on the ground too long, 
        G                                        D 
In the end it's just another highwire act gone wrong! 


         G                                                        D 
So it's on with the show, and it's send in the clowns, and the trapeze act, 
          G                                                D 
And it's more of the same, and it's less of a game than a cold... hard... fact, 
Em                                               D 
Most times, it's better not to ask myself how I feel, 
       G                                     D 
Oh--,      I'm just the woman on the wheel------! 


          G                               D 
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo! 
          G                           
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!

       G                                                         D 
Now I know what you're thinking, as the knives fly by, and they find their mark, 
                  G                                                    D 
You're thinking, one false move, and it's a real bad day at the a - musement park, 
               G                                          D 
You wouldn't wanna be me, but you need me just the same, 
         G                                               D 
To re - mind you what you stand to lose, and what you stand to gain! 


      G                                             D 
They say I've got a death wish, yeah, but I don't think that's true, 
    G                                         D 
As far as I can see, it's less about me, and more about you, 
             Em                                                D 
You see, it ain't your fears, so much as what your fears re - veal, 
G                              D 
   I'm just the woman on the wheel! 


          G                           D 
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo! 
          G                           D 
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo! 
          G                           D 
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo! 
          G                           D        D   D5  D4  D  Dsus2   D 
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!   |  /   /    /__/    /  |  /  ||
