Livin' On A High Wire

• Am

Intro



This is the story on how we lived 
The glory of what we did 
It started when we were kids 
With music up in our heads 
She said 

Verse 1
 
Am         C                G 
 I've been out on the edge 
           D 
Breathin a little bit of fresh air   
Am          C                 G 
 Big dreams, I took a chance 
            D 
Held out for everything i've got here 

Pre-Chorus
 
Am         C            G 
 I've been feeling this life's a circus 
D 
Hangin on without a fear 

 
Am 
Livin on a high wire 
C 
Runnin through a wildfire 
G                   D 
You can't shake me, I'm not goin nowhere 
Am 
Walkin on a tight rope 
C 
No net, high hopes 
G              D 
Step back, I'm gonna make it over 
Am    C      
Na na na na na na na  
G     D 
Na na livin on a high wire 
Am    C 
Na na na na na na na  
G     D 
Na na livin on a high wire 

This is the story of how we lived 
The glory of what we did 
It started when we were kids 
With music up in our heads 
She said 

(Verse 2: Same as Verse 1) 

Big top, turnin around, no clowns 
Im runnin as I hit the ground 
Front row, big show is sold out 
So I'm ready for the crowd roar, lets go 

(Pre-Chorus) 

(Chorus) 

Bridge 


When it comes to the beat 
Seeing that the heads are moving 
Move off your seat 
Achievement is what we're really doing 
Freedom of speech 
I'm in it just to win it 
I'm springin' and I can see it 
In the end that you can be it 
'Cause it's patience, it's statements 
Famous greatness 
Movin' 'til you make it through 
And maybe you can make it too 

(No guitar until chords start again)
 
Livin on a high wire 
Can't shake me I'm not goin nowhere 
Am                   C                  G 
Walking a tight rope no net high hopes 
              D 
Step back I'm gonna make it over 
Am    C      
Na na na na na na na  
G     D 
Na na livin on a high wire 
Am    C 
Na na na na na na na  
G     D               Am C   G        D 
Na na livin on a high wire  (yeah yeah) 
Am    C   
Na na na na na na na  
G     D                   Am 
Na na livin on a high wire
