Chords for Janelle Monae-Tightrope (lyrics)

_ [Fm] _ I'm [Gm] gonna go to the left [Fm] foot.
Whoa!
[Cm] _
[Gm] [Fm] Another day!
[Bb] Yeah, I believe in you.
[Ab] Take your pain away. _
[Bb] _ [F] Some people [Cm] talk about you like they know all about you.
When you get down, they doubt you.
And when you dip it on the scene, yeah, they talking about it.
Cause they can't get on the scene if you talk about it.
[Ab] Talk about it.
When you [Eb] get elevated, they [Fm] love it or they hate it.
You dance [C] upon them haters, keep your end funky.
[Ab] On the scene, why they jumping around you?
They trying to take all of [Abm] your dreams, but you can't [Bb] allow it.
Cause baby, whether you're high _ or whether you're low,
[Gm]
you gotta tip-tip [Ab] on the tightrope.
Tip-tip [F] on the tightrope.
Baby, [Bb] baby, whether you're high or whether you're low,
you [Ab] gotta tip-tip on the tightrope.
Now let me see you do the tightrope.
Tip-tip on it.
And I'm still dipping on it.
See, [B] I'm not walking on it.
I'm trying to run around it.
This ain't no acrobatics.
You need to follow all your lead.
[F] Yeah, I'm talking about you.
I'll keep on blaming the machine.
And now I'm talking about it.
Talking [Fm] about it.
I can't complain about it.
I [Bb] gotta keep my balance and [Fm] just keep dancing on it.
We getting funky on the scene and you know about it.
Like a star on the screen, watch me tip [Gm] all on it.
Now baby, whether _ _ _ [Bb] you're _ _ [Fm] high or whether you're low,
you gotta tip-tip on the tightrope.
Yeah, tip [C]-tip on the [Gm] tightrope.
[Dm] Baby, baby, whether [Gm] you're _ _ _ _ [Bbm]
[Fm] high or whether you're low,
you gotta tip-tip on the tightrope.
Now let me see you do the tightrope.
Tip-tip [Ab] on it.
[Bb] And I'm still doing [F] it on it.
[Gm] Got to keep balance when you're falling too.
It's a challenge, but I manage because I'm cautious.
[C] Strive to be damaged to be damaged.
Da-da-da, [G] and I pass.
See why you [Gm] don't want no preaching like the back of a matchbook.
Then if that's what holds you, then you're [Fm] a mackerel.
So close, so shut you down before we go go [N] backwards.
Act up, and whether we're high or low, we're going to get back up.
Like the [B] Dow Jones and the [Bb] Aztecs.
Start like a thong and an ass crank.
Come on.
[G] I tip on alligators and little rattlesnakers.
[Eb] But I'm another play for something like a Terminator.
Ain't no [N] equivocating.
I fight for what I believe.
Why you talking about it?
Just, just, just talking about it.
[Ab] Some calling me a sinner.
[Eb] Some calling me a winner.
[Ab] I'm calling you to dinner, and you know exactly what I mean.
Yeah, I'm talking about you.
You can rock or you can leave.
Watch me [N] tip without you.
La-la-la, [Bb] what a [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ [D] [Ab] rolling [Fm] tightrope.
Ah.
[F] _ [Dm] _
Baby, baby, [Bb] whether I'm [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
[Gm] [Ab] high or low,
I got to tip on the tightrope.
[Fm] I'm baby tip on the [Ab]
tightrope.
You [Bb] can't get too high.
[Dm] I said you can't get too _ [A] high.
You [Ab] [Bb] can't get too [B] high.
No, [F] you surely be low.
[Ab] One, two, three.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ Now shut up.
_ _ [Cm] Yeah.
_ _ Yeah.
Now put some [Dm] voodoo on.
Ladies and gentlemen, the funkiest horn section in the [G] tribalist.
[Cm] Yeah, yeah, [Db] yeah.
_ [Fm] [Gm] Now we're going to do that [Dm] again.
We call that classy [Gm] brass.
Got it.
[Bbm] Oh.
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Dm] _ _ Who is a tenner?
_ _ [Cm] _ [Gm] _ _ Who [Bbm] is a tenner?
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ You and your white guys.
_ [Gm] Ha, ha, ha.
You [Fm] know, man, [Db] if I say [F] my name,
_ [G] [Dm] it's not a name.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ If I say [Db] my name,
_ [Bbm] it's not a [Dm] name.
If I say my name,
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ it's not a [Db] name.

_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
