Who would have thought that i'd be here by myself
C#m
Who would have thought that you'd be bad for my health
       D                                   A     Esus4  E

I feel like I'm walking a tightrope
                 Amaj7
And my heart is in my throat
                F#m
I'm counting on high hopes
                  D
To get me over you
                  A
And I've got my eyes closed
                 Amaj7
As long as the wind blows

I'm counting on high hopes

To get me over you, you

             A                      Amaj7

When I walk that line, I try to keep my senses

Make it to the other side, I know the consequences
