  			Verse 
A                      C#                      D 
Some people long for a life that is simple and planned 
Bm 
Tied with a ribbon 
A                          C#                          D 
Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land 
   Bm 
To follow what's written 
    E          A          F#m     E 
But I'd follow you to the great unknown 
C#m      F#m      D        E 
Off to a world we call our own 

Chorus 
A 
Hand in my hand 
       E                     F#m 
And we promised to never let go 
      D 
We're walking a tightrope

High in the sky

We can see the whole world down below

Never sure, never know how far we could fall 
         A 
But it's all an adventure 
     E                         F#m    E 
That comes with a breathtaking view

Walking a tightrope

With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
     E 
With you 

Verse 
A                          C#                      D 
Mountains and valleys, and all that will come in between 
Bm 
Desert and ocean 
A                    C#                       D 
You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream 
Bm 
Always in motion 
   E         A           F#m     E 
So I risk it all just to be with you 
    C#        F#m A        D       E 
And I risk it all for this life we choose

Hand in my hand

And we promised to never let go

We're walking a tightrope

High in the sky

We can see the whole world down below

We're walking a tightrope 
      D              A                    D      Dm 
Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?

Well it's all an adventure

That comes with a breathtaking view
