Tight Rope
Leon Russell

B7+ 
Em7    Am7   C G B7+
I'm up on a tightwire
One side's ice and one is fire
It's a circus game with you and me

B7+ 
Em7   Am7   C G D (D7)
I'm up on a tight rope
One side's hate and one is hope
But the top hat on my head is all you see

Bm Bm(#7) Bm7 Em7   Em9 Bm C7
And the wire seems to be the only way for me
A comedy of errors and I'm falling
G D Em   D B7+
Like a rubber neck giraffe you look into my past
Well maybe you're just too blind to see

I'm up in the spotlight
Oh does it feel right
Oh the altitude really gets to me

I'm up on a tight wire
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see

Like a rubber neck giraffe 
You look into my past
Well maybe you're just too blind to see

I'm up in the spotlight
Oh does it feel right
Oh the altitude really gets to me

I'm up on a tight wire
Flanked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see
