Tightrope Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You should've been an angel,
it [C]would've suited [G]you
My [C]gold-leaf tryptic [G]angel,
she [C]knows just [G]what [D]to do
In the half-light of of morning,
in a [C]world between [G]the sheets
I [C]swear I saw her [G]angel wing,
my [C]vision [G]was [D]complete
[C]And I

[Verse 2]
know I'll never want an[G]other lover,
my [D]sweet
Can there be [C]more in this world than the
[G]joy of just watching ya [Dsus4]sleep?[C][Dsus4]
I don't know [D]just what to [G]feel[D][G]
[D]Won't someone tell
me my love's real?
[Dsus4]Are we

[Verse 3]
[G]etc[D]hed[Dsus4] in stone[G][D]
or just scratched in the [Dsus4]sand
[G]Waiting for the waves to come
and [C]reclaim [D]the land?
Will the sunshine all [C]sweetness
and [Dsus4]light[G]
Burn us to a cinder, our [C]third stone satellite?

[Verse 4]
[D]I'm on a tightrope, baby,
[C]nine miles high
[G]Striding through the clouds on
my rib[C]bon in [D]the sky
I'm on a tightrope, baby,
one [C]thing I've found
I don't [G]know how to stop
And it's [C]a l[F]ong, l[Am]ong, l[D]ong,
long [C]way down

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G][D][Dm][D]

[Verse 5]
She's [D]all that ever mattered
and [C]all that ever [Dsus4]will
My [G]cup, it runneth over,
I'll [C]never get my [D]fill
The boats in the [C]harbor slip
from their [Dsus4]chain s
[G]Head for new [C]horizons,
[G]let[C]'s do the[D] same

[Verse 6]
I'm on a [D]tightrope, baby,
[C]nine miles high
[G]Striding through the clouds on
my [C]ribbon in [D]the sky
I'm on a tightrope, baby,
one [C]thing I've found
I [G]don't know how to stop
And it's a [Dm]tightrope, baby,
[D]nin[C]e miles high
[G]Striding through the clouds on
[C]my ribbon in [D]the sky
I'm on a tightrope, baby,
one [C]thing I've found
I [G]don't know how to stop
And it's [F]a long, l[Am]ong, l[Dm]ong,
[D]long way down
