 Gsus2Gsus2  E minor 7Em7   Em7*

Verse 1:
    Gsus2Gsus2       E minor 7Em7    Em7*
Strong winds and my  heads on   fire
 Gsus2Gsus2         E minor 7Em7       Em7*
Walk another day a  cross the high  wire
 C/GC/G                 D/AD/A
I'm on a tightrope watch it as it swings
 C/GC/G                 D/AD/A
Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve

Verse 2:
    Gsus2Gsus2     E minor 7Em7       Em7*
We run the numbers, spinning in the side
 Gsus2Gsus2         E minor 7Em7               Em7*
 Counting all the reasons that we are broken and we lied
 C/GC/G                D/AD/A
I'm on a tightrope watch it as it swings
 C/GC/G                      D/AD/A
Heating up the metal, putting pressure on the springs

Chorus:
    E minor 7Em7   F#F#        G+G **  C majorC **
And   all   I   want is for  you  to

Verse 3:
      Gsus2Gsus2      E minor 7Em7      Em7*
Pretty   candles on a  birthday    cake
 Gsus2Gsus2              E minor 7Em7     Em7*
Covered in confetti with the   caffeine   shakes
 C/GC/G                  D/AD/A
Fuck all that money, everything is trash
 C/GC/G                   D/AD/A
Papers in the glove box, light it up and pass

Verse 4:
 Gsus2Gsus2            E minor 7Em7    Em7*
Flip on the news we watch it til we   sleep
     Gsus2Gsus2                   E minor 7Em7
Ain't    nothing but static and the panic and the feeling manic
 C/GC/G                   D/AD/A
I'm on a tightrope watch it as it swings
 C/GC/G                       D/AD/A
Heating up the metal, putting pressure on the springs

Chorus:
    E minor 7Em7   F#F#        G+G **  C majorC **
And   all   I   want is for  you  to
