th Fret 




Intro: Am  G F  G  C    G 

                                C             G 
It's a three-ring circus on the edge of town 
                               Am      C 
With hoops and dogs and falling circus clowns 
     G                          C 
And I'm up on a tightrope and I can't look down 
       F   C 
It's a highwire 
       F   C     G 
It's a highwire 


                                     C                  G 
Then the crowd grows quiet, then the crowd grows still 
                             Am      C 
I whisper, "I love you, and I always will" 
  G                                        C 
Ahh, but you never can tell when you might Jack and Jill 
         F   C 
From the highwire 
         F   C     G 
From the highwire
