Tightrope

Intro: 
Am  Am 



[Verso 1]
 
  Am 
I set out on the road to God, 
     F 
Went looking for his house, 
   G 
To see if he would save my soul, 
       Am 
When I got there he was out, 
       F    Fmaj7 
Nobody home, 
                    Am   Am 
Well I found nobody home. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
    Am 
The devil walked right up and asked, 
         F 
Is there something I can do, 
    G 
You seem a little out of place, 
  Am 
I think that I can help you, 
          F    Fmaj7 
Walk with me, 
                        Am   Am 
Why don't you walk with me. 
 


[Refrão]
 
                     Dm 
Now I'm walking that tightrope baby, 
         Am 
And that wind is blowing, 
    Dm 
I'm losing my grip, 
       Am 
And my fear is growing, 
       F  F 
Rescue me, 
E*                       Am  Am 
   Won't somebody rescue me. 
 


[Verso 3]
 
  Am 
I said no thank you darling, 

I think I'll walk alone, 
    G 
But it's been good to see you, 
      Am 
And I threw his dog a bone, 
           F    Fmaj7   F 
And he was gone, 
                          Am   Am 
Well I blinked and he was gone. 
 


[Verso 4]
 
  Am 
I came upon an old rope bridge, 
          F 
Stretched out at least a mile, 
G 
Sign said cross to meet the Lord, 
       Am 
I just stood there for a while, 
              F    Fmaj7   F 
Should I walk on, 
                       Am   Am 
Not sure I should walk on. 
 


[Refrão]
 
                     Dm 
Now I'm walking that tightrope baby, 
         Am 
And that wind is blowing, 
    Dm 
I'm losing my grip, 
       Am 
And my fear is growing, 
       F  F 
Rescue me, 
E*                       Am  Am 
   Won't somebody rescue me.

[Verso 5]
 
  Am 
I took a step out on that bridge, 
      F 
I got brave so I took two, 
  G 
I felt the rope beneath me give, 
      Am 
And I tumbled straight on through, 
         F    Fmaj7 
Into the dark, 
                   Am   Am 
I plunged into the dark. 
 


[Verso 6]
 
    Am 
The dark is where I'm sitting still, 
    F 
I'm waiting to be saved, 
G 
Someone better get here soon, 
          Am 
Cause I'm starting to lose faith, 
                F 
Heard the devil laugh, 
  F                        Am   Am 
I swear I heard that devil laugh.
