Some people long for a
C#/G#
life that is simple and
D/F#
planned,
Bm/F#
tied with a ribbon.
A
Some people won’t sail the
C#/G#
sea ’cause they’re safer on
D/F#
land
to
Bm/F#
follow what’s written.
But
E/G#
I’d follow
A
you to the
D/F#
great
un
E
known
Off
C#/F
to a
F#m
world we
D/F#
call our
E/G#
own.
Aadd2
Hand in my hand and we
E7/G#
promised to never let
F#m7
go
We’re
D/F#
walking the tightrope
Aadd2
High in the sky
We can
E7/G#
see the whole world down be
F#m7
low
We’re
D/F#
walking the tightrope
Never
D
sure,
never
Aadd2
know how far we could
E7/G#
fall
But it’s
Aadd2
all an adventure
That
E7/G#
comes with a breathtaking
F#m7
view
D
Walking the tightrope
With
A
you,
E/G#
ooh,

ooh
With
A
you,
E/G#
ooh,
F#m
ooh,
E/G#
ooh,
D/F#
ooh
With
E
you
A
Mountains and valleys
and
C#/G#
all that will come in be
D/F#
tween,
Bm/F#
desert and ocean.
A
You pulled me in and
C#/G#
together we’re lost in a
D/F#
dream,
Bm/F#
always in motion.
So
E/G#
I risk it
A
all just to
D/F#
be with
E/G#
you.
And
E
I
C#/F
risk it
F#m
all for this
D/F#
life we
E7/G#
choose.
Aadd2
Hand in my hand and we

Never

sure,
will you
A
catch me if I should
D/F#
fall?
