E  D  B7  A  G  E

                             B9

Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath.

Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat.

Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race.

                                    G#m7  E9                          E D B7 A G E (x2)

Feels like I'm losing time, at a breakneck pace. Riffs

Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace.

Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face.

There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge.

Thank God it never found me, would have been the end. Riffs

            E9                          B9

Walkin' the tight rope, steppin on my friends

Walkin' the tight rope, was a shame and a sin.

Walkin' the tight rope, between wrong and right.

                       A                          E9

Walkin' the tight rope, both day and night.  (walk up)

Blues Solo x2, then Riffs

Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin.

Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend

We've had all our problems, that's the way life is.

My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends. Riffs

(Walkin' the tightrope) Trying to make it right

(Walkin' the tightrope) Every day and every night

(Walkin' the tightrope) Bring it all around.

(Walkin' the tightrope) From the lost to found. Riffs

(Walkin' the tightrope) Stretched around the world.

(Walkin' the tightrope) Save the boys and girls.

(Walkin' the tightrope) Let's make it right.

(Walkin' the tightrope) Do it, do it tonight.

Walkin the tightrope.
