Song::
INTRO 2x
Verse 1:
Caught up in a world wiB9nd
Can't catch my breath,
Knee deep in hot water
Brake out in cold sweat
Can't catch the turtle
In this rat race
Feels like I'm losing Abmtime E9
At breakneck pace.
INTRO 2x
Verse 2:
Afraid of my own shadB9ow
In the face of grace
Heart full of darkness
Spotlight on my face
There was love all around me
But I was looking for revenge
Thank God it never found Abmme E9
Would've been the end
MIDRO 2x
Chorus 1:
Walking the tightroE9pe
Steppin on my frienB9ds
Walking the tightroE9pe
Was a shame and a sB9in
Walking the tightroE9pe
Between wrong and rB9ight
Walking the Atightrope E
Both day and Bnight
MINIRO 1x
Solo 1:
(I don't have time yet to type it in.)
(rhythm uses standard blues progression in B)
B9 E9 ...
then solo ends ...
INTRO 2x
Verse 3:
Lookin back in front of B9me
In the mirror's a grin
Through eyes of love I see
I'm really lookin at a friend
There's a whole lot of problems
That's the way life is
My heart goes out to AbmotherE9s
Who are there to make amends
MIDRO 2x
Chorus 2:
Walking the tightroE9pe
Try to make it righB9t
Walking the tightroE9pe
Every day and everyB9 night
Walking the tightroE9pe
Bring it all aroundB9 (?)
Walking the Atightrope E
From the lostB to found
MIDRO 2x
Chorus 3:
Walking the tightroE9pe
Stretchin round theB9 world
Walking the tightroE9pe
Save the boys and gB9irls
Walking the tightroE9pe
Let's make it rightB9
Walking the tightroE9pe
Do it do it tonightB9
Walking the tightroE9pe
Solo 2:
let it rip and fade out.
