[A] [Bm]
[A] [G]
[A] [Bm]
[A] [Bm] I [G] woke [A] up before the [Bm] sun, chased your [A] ghost across the [G] yard
Through the [F#m] fog and tumbling [Bm] dark, till you [A] were gone
[A] [Bm]
[G] Virginia, [A] I can hardly [Bm] breathe, and I've [A] forgotten how to [G] sleep
And your face [A] still haunts my [Bm] dreams when I'm alone
[A] So [Bm] now I'm walking [G] on a tightrope [D] while too far off [A] the ground
I'm imagining [G] the words you said [D] when last I saw your [A] mouth
Yes, I'm walking [G] on a tightrope [D] while so afraid to [A] fall
And [G] I tell you that [Bm] I miss you, [A] but I'm sure
It doesn't [G] matter at [A] all, [Bm]
[A] [G]
[A] [Bm]
[A]
[G] the things [A] I gave [Bm] away
Are not [A] coming back [G] to me
I should have learned [A] from my [Bm] mistakes, but I never do
[A]
[G] As I lay [A] here [Bm] all alone, I hang [A] up before I [G] call
I'm admitting [A] it to all [Bm] my faults to [A] pass the time
So now [Bm] I'm walking [G] on a tightrope [D] while too far [A] off the ground
[Bm] I'm [G] imagining the words you said [D] when last I saw [A] your mouth
Yes, [Bm] I'm walking [G] on a tightrope [D] while so afraid [A] to fall
And [G] I tell you that [Bm] I miss you, but [A] I'm sure
It doesn't [G] matter at all
[Bm]
[A] [D] [A]
[G] [Bm]
[A] [D] [A]
[G] [Bm]
[A] [D] [A]
[G] [Bm]
[A]
[G] There's a place [A] we [Bm] used to go, [A] today I [G] went along
If there's a [A] message in [Bm] this song, well I [A] don't know
So now [Bm] I'm walking [G] on a tightrope while [D] too far [A] off the ground
[Bm] I'm imagining [G] the words you said [D] when last I saw [A] your mouth
Yes, [Bm] I'm walking [G] on a tightrope while [D] so afraid [A] to fall
And [G] I tell you that [Bm] I miss you, but [A] I'm sure
[G] Tell you that I [Bm] miss you, but [A] I'm sure
Yes, I'm [Bm] walking on a [G] tightrope while [D] too far off
[A] I'm [Bm] imagining the [G] words you said [D] when last I saw your [A] mouth
[A#] Yes, [Bm] I'm walking on a [G] tightrope [D] while so afraid to [A] fall
And I [G] tell you that I [Bm] miss you, but [A] I'm sure
And I [G] tell you that I [Bm] miss you, but [A] I'm sure
Doesn't [G] matter at [A] all
[Bm] Doesn't matter at all
[A] [G] [A]
