Tapdancing On A Highwire

C     G          F     C  
Bright lights and funny clowns. 
 F                    C        G 
Hammin' it up on the circus grounds.  
 C G    F    C  
Horses, big parades.  
        F                 C       G  
Such a pretty sight this love we made.  
     Dm           F             C  
From way up here life's just a ball. 
     Dm        C      F                G  
With you by my side, love is worth the fall.  
 
        C           G           F  
So we're tap dancing on the highwire.  
             C  
We could go tumbling down. 
C                      Dm  
But something makes me want to go higher. 
             F         Dm  
Think it's having you around.  
F          G      C    F       C  
Oh, get a look at us playing with fire. 
F             G              C  
Oh, we're tapdancing on the highwire. 
 
Big applause, from the crowd out here. 
Watching our hearts hang in mid-air.  
No strings and no fears.  
Keeps our love suspended up here. 
 
We know we could loose this balance and fall. 
But a heart that don't dance ain't a real heart at all. 
   
        C           G           F  
So we're tap dancing on the highwire.  
             C  
We could go tumbling down. 
C                      Dm  
But something makes me want to go higher. 
             F         Dm  
Think it's having you around.  
F          G      C    F       C  
Oh, get a look at us playing with fire.

Oh, we're tapdancing on the highwire.
