I work the high wire in the center ring

Nobody knows you when you come to town 
Cadd2             G              Dsus4      G 
You're somebody's hero or you're somebody's clown

And you hope like hell that it'll be enough

Cause you're nobody's baby when the sun comes up

You can dazzle 'em with beauty

Make 'em laugh until they cry 
        C2                    G 
You can give 'em the thrill of a lifetime 
         Am7        C       Dsus4 
But they always say good-bye

It's just that sometimes I get so tired 
Cadd2     G              Dsus4   G 
Of going' nowhere on that little wire 
Cadd2       G                Dsus4   G 
I'd like to plant my feet on solid ground 
    Cadd2        G            Dsus4    G 
But God have mercy it's a long way down

Verse 5 
G   Cadd2       G              Dsus4      G 
So I climb that ladder right on up to the sky 
  Cadd2        G        Dsus4     G 
I don't look down and I don't ask why 
Cadd2          G             Dsus4      Em7 
And just for a moment I'm on top of the world

Just for a moment I'm a circus girl
