Tom : G
G D
Life's a tightrope,
Am Em
And you're standing on one toe.
G D Am
Don't let the fear take hold of you,
Em
You're bound to fall to the ground below.
G D
Pick yourself up again,
Am
Over the edge again,
Em
Hold on to your hopes and dreams.
G D
When all seems to be lost,
Am
Don't start to count the costs,
Em
Just go and begin again.
[Refrão]
G D Am Em G D Am Em
Tight rope walker, tight rope walker.
[Chorus:]
G D Am Em
The only thing I'm sure of is, to have no fear at all,
G D Am Em
Just go, keep on going on.
G D Am Em
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
[Próxima Parte]
G D Am Em
Just go, keep on going on.
[Próxima Parte]
G D
When all you work for,
Am Em
Comes tumbling to the ground.
G D
Don't let the sadness fill your heart,
Am Em
Tomorrow may be a better day.
G
Lift your head up again,
D
You know you'll start again,
Am Em
No matter what may come of it.
G
You know there's more to life,
D
I'm sure that you'll survive,
Am Em
You know what you have to do.
[Próxima Parte]
G D Am Em
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
G D Am Em
Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring.
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
G D Am Em
Just go, keep on going on [x2]
