A C G x 4 

 A                              C                                   
Turn on the spotlight, strike up the band 
 A/C#                            C   
Everyone's looking my way. 
 A                                    C              
They came to see the excitement firsthand 
 A/C#                                   C  
And hear all that I've got to say 
 
D                           A 
Oh, it makes me wonder, 
              D                   A 
What if I slip, will they catch me 
      C 
Or watch me fall? 
 
Chorus: 
G                        D/F#   Em                         C                          D 
I am walking on a wire; I tiptoe in through the fire, never looking down to see that, 
G                        D/F#   Em                         C                             D 
I am walking on a wire, the pressure's getting higher, but I don't look around. 
 
A                               C     
Everyone roots for the Winner. 
A/C#                               C    
The other fall maybe next time   
A                                             C        
Your time at the top only lasts fifteen minutes 
 A/C#                                  C    
Then they just leave you behind  
 
 D                         A 
Oh, it makes me wonder, 
              D                   A              
What if I slip, will they catch me 
      C 
 or watch me fall?

Will you catch me, if I fall?       Will You catch me if I fall? 
              D                   A                C 
What if I slip, will they catch me or watch me fall?
