Intro: Am  G F  G  C    G 

                                C             G 
It's a three-ring circus on the edge of town 
                               Am      C 
With hoops and dogs and falling circus clowns 
     G                          C 
And I'm up on a tightrope and I can't look down 
       F   C 
It's a highwire 
       F   C     G 
It's a highwire 


                                     C                  G 
Then the crowd grows quiet, then the crowd grows still 
                             Am      C 
I whisper, "I love you, and I always will" 
  G                                        C 
Ahh, but you never can tell when you might Jack and Jill 
         F   C 
From the highwire 
         F   C     G 
From the highwire 


Chorus: 
     G                      C 
This love (this love), this love (this love) 
     Am  F 
Is a highwire 
     G                      C 
This love (this love), this love (this love) 
     Am  F 
Is a highwire 
     G                      C 
This love (this love), this love (this love) 
     Am  F 
Is a highwire 
           C            F   C        G 
It's a highwire, it's a highwire 


                               C               G 
Straight and narrow, stretched hard and tight 
                                       Am       C 
It's a centre shot in the glare of the cold spotlight 
     G                              C 
And I'm walking a thin line between day and night 
       F   C 
On the highwire 
       F   C     G 
On the highwire 


                                     C           G 
And the hard ground's waiting in the dark below 
                               Am      C 
And my heart's so heavy and I'm moving slow 
     G                            C 
And I'm hoping I make it, but you never know 
       F   C 
On the highwire 
       F   C      
On the highwire 


Chorus: 
     G                      C 
This love (this love), this love (this love) 
     Am  F 
Is a highwire 
     G                      C 
This love (this love), this love (this love) 
     Am  F 
Is a highwire 
     G                      C 
This love (this love), this love (this love) 
     Am  F 
Is a highwire 
           C            F   C      
It's a highwire, it's a highwire
