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 Yesterday's 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 IG Who would have thought I'd see you with someone else? Bm Who would have thought that I'd be in such a mess? Cadd9 Now you know, now you know G D I'm just a man on a wire Pre-Chorus Cadd9 When I walk that line I'll try to keep my senses Em7 Make it to the other side I know the consequences and G D IG 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 wireG 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 wireBridge: 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 downG 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 hope 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 Cause I'm a man on a wire,on a wire Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a wireG 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
