[Verse 1]
                    Bb9
Caught up in a whirlwind
can't catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race
                      Gm  Eb9               Eb  Db Bb9
Feels like I'm losin' time   at a breakneck pace
Ab Gb Eb9 Eb Db Bb9
Ab Gb Eb9

[Verse 2]
Afraid of my own
Bb9
shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of a darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge
                     Gm    Eb9                       Eb Db Bb9
Thank God it never found me   would have been the end

[Chorus]
Eb Db
Bb9                 Eb9                        Bb9
   Walkin' the tightrope steppin' on my friends
                 Eb9                       Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope was a shame and a sin
                 Eb9                         Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right
                 Ab  Eb9             Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope   both day and night

[Verse 3]
                Bb9
Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin
Through eyes of loveI see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is
                     Gm    Eb9                       Eb   Db Bb9
My heart goes out to others   who are there to make amends
Eb Db
Bb9                            Eb9                         Bb9
   We've been walkin' the tightrope tryin' to make it right

[Chorus]
                 Eb9                      Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
                 Eb9                     Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around
                 Ab  Eb9                      Eb Db Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope   from the lost to found
Eb Db
Bb9                 Eb9                            Bb9
   Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world
                 Eb9                         Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls
                 Eb9                     Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right
                 Eb9                     Bb9
Walkin' the tightrope do it do it tonight
