Intro: A C D E F E : A C D E F A 

A 		        C            G
Turn on the spotlight, strike up the band 
A		      C   G
Everyone’s looking my way 
A		       C           G
They came to see the excitEm7ent firsthand 
    A                         C   G
And hear all that I’ve got to say 
D               A		  D		 A
Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me 
   C
Or watch me fall? 
	
Chorus

G           D/F#  Em7
I am walking on a wire 
 			c
I tiptoe in through the fire 
              D/F# Em7 D
Never looking down to see that 
G           D/F#  Em7
I am walking on a wire 
		       C
The pressure’s getting higher 
    C       G/B   D/F# Em7 D Am
But I don’t look around 

A		       C       G
Everyone roots for the winner 
    A			   C    G
The others well maybe next time 
     A			  C		G
Your time at the top only lasts fifteen minutes 
A			   C		 
Then they just leave you behind 

D               A		  D		 A
Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me 
   C
Or watch me fall? 

Repeat Chorus

    C
But I don’t look around 
     C		   D/F#   Em7 D	
It’s so far to the ground

A C A/C# C 4x

What if I slip, will they catch me 
   C
Or watch me fall? 

Repeat Chorus
	
     C		   D/F#   Em7
It’s so far to the ground
  D		G    D/F# C  G
I never look in down
