Who'd have thought that I'd be here by myself?
[C#m] Who'd have thought that you'd be bad for my health?
Now [E] I know, now I know [D] I'm just a man on [A] a wire
Oh, [E] [A] who'd have thought I'd bump into cars and a fence?
[C#m] Yesterday's love is now tomorrow's regret
Now [D] I know, now I know I'm just a man on [A] a wire
Oh, [E] no [D] I can't look down
I'm trying to fight the feeling [F#m] I will fall to the ground
If I ever see you
[D] Cause I, I, [E] I feel like I'm walking on [A] a side road
My heart is in [E] my throat
I'm counting [F#m] on how to get me off [D] you
And after my [A] eyes close
As long as the [E] wind blows
I'm counting [F#m] on how to get me off [D] you, [A] you
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a [E] wire
[F#m] I'm a man on a wire, on a [D] wire
[A] Who'd have thought I'd see you with someone else?
[C#m] Who'd have thought that I'd be in such a mess?
Now [D] you know, now you know I'm just a man on [A] a wire
Oh, [E] but [D] I'll walk that line
I'll try to keep my senses [F#m] naked to the other side
I know the consequences
[D] Cause I, I, [E] I feel like I'm walking on [A] a side road
My heart is in [E] my throat
I'm counting [F#m] on how to get me [D] off you
And [A] after my eyes close
As long as [E] the wind blows
I'm counting [F#m] on how to get me [D] off you, [A] you
Cause I'm a man on a [E] wire, on [F#m] a wire
I'm a man on a wire, on a [A] wire
Cause I'm a man on a wire, on [E] a wire
Cause [F#m] I'm a man on a wire, on [D] a wire
Oh, [E] if I ever [F#m] get so [D] low or I miss [A] the ground
[E] No safety [F#m] net, oh, [D] now you [A] know
[E] I have to [F#m] keep walking [D] to keep me [A] from falling [E] down
It feels like I'm [A] walking a side road
My heart is in [E] my throat
I'm counting [F#m] on how to get me [A] off you
And after my eyes close
As long as [E] the wind blows
I'm counting [F#m] on how to get me [B] off you, you
[A] Cause I'm a man on a wire, on a [E] wire
[F#m]
[B] [A] I'm a man on a wire, on a [E] wire
[F#m] I'm a man [A] on a wire, on a [A] wire
[D] Yeah
