G D Em
I hand you my ball and chain
G D C
You just hand me that Same old refrain
G
I'm walking on a wire
D
I'm walking on a wire
Am G Dsus4 Cadd9
And I'm falling---
I wish I could please you tonight
But my medicine just won't come right
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
Am G
And I'm falling---
D A
Too many steps to take
C#m G#m
Too many spells to break
Bm C# F#m
Too many nights awake and no one else
D A
This grindstone's wearing me
C#m G#m
Your claws are tearing me
C#m B
Don't use me endlessly
A Em Bm D A
It's too long, Too long to myself
Where's the justice, and where's the sense
When all the pain's on my side of the fence
I'm walking on a wire
I'm walking on a wire
And I'm falling---
