Intro :
G Em Am

G
i keep trynna fit your mold
but it ain’t workin
Em Am
i don’t wanna wear a mask
inside your circus
G
all the lines we’ve crossed
make us both uncertain
Em Am
what we’re juggling is underneath
the surface

G
paint a smile like a clown n show no tears
Em Am
flares up and we’re waiting now
the smokes clear
G Em Am
being so high up was my worst fear

Reff :
G
now you got me tumbling down..
from this tightrope
Em Am
ain’t no telling how much lower i might go..
G
spin me around.. on your pedestal
Em
you’re the star of the show
Am
i’m the spectacle..

G
can’t tell how many hoops
i’ve jumped through
Em Am
how many tricks must i do
G
i’m losing my balance to get to you
Em Am
on this tight rope.. (on this tight rope)

Int.
G Em Am

G
being high means nothing
when you crash down
Em Am
hard headed never knew when to back down
G
use to be love but it’s all just an act now
Em Am
second guessing everything in our past now

G
paint a smile like a clown n show no tears
Em Am
flares up and we’re waiting now
the smokes clear
G Em Am
being so high up was my worst fear

Reff :
G
