Alex Clare - Tight Rope Chords

Capo 1st Fret


 G          D
    Life's a tightrope,
              Am              Em
    And you're standing on one toe.
G                   D                Am
    Don't let the fear take hold of you,
                                  Em
    You're bound to fall to the ground below.
G                     D
    Pick yourself up again,
                   Am
    Over the edge again,
                     Em
    Hold on to your hopes and dreams.
G                         D
    When all seems to be lost,
                              Am
    Don't start to count the costs,
                  Em
    Just go and begin again.
G     D    Am Em   G     D    Am Em
Tight rope walker, tight rope walker.

[Chorus:]
    G              D              Am              Em
The only thing I'm sure of is, to have no fear at all,
         G     D      Am  Em
Just go, keep on going on.
        G                D               Am                    Em
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
         G    D       Am  Em
Just go, keep on going on.

G              D
  When all you work for,
      Am             Em
Comes tumbling to the ground.
G                   D
  Don't let the sadness fill your heart,
Am               Em
Tomorrow may be a better day.
G
Lift your head up again,
D
You know you'll start again,
Am                 Em
No matter what may come of it.
G
You know there's more to life,
D
I'm sure that you'll survive,
Am                Em
You know what you have to do.

G     D    Am Em   G     D    Am Em
Tight rope walker, tight rope walker.

[Chorus:]
    G              D             Am              Em
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
         G     D      Am  Em
Just go, keep on going on.
        G                D               Am                    Em
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
         G     D      Am  Em
Just go keep, on going on.

G               D          Am                  Em
 Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
G               D          Am                   Em
 Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring.
G               D          Am                  Em
 Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
G               D          Am                   Em
 Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring.

    G              D             Am              Em
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
         G     D      Am  Em
Just go, keep on going on,
        G                D               Am                    Em
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
         G    D       Am  Em
Just go, keep on going on [x2]

*you can add a G strum at the end (it sounds nice)
