Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Intro:
Dsus4  D     Gm  D  x3:


Verse 1:
     Dsus2
We're living in a different reality
      Gm7            Am7
We're toeing the same line
       Dsus2
We give in we call it neutrality
   Gm7                  Am7
A joke with no punchline
                  Bb    C
The silver plated hero
                    Dsus2
Meets the golden hearted whore
                     Bb    C
The odds'll give you zero
                       Dm          Asus4/E  Dsus2/E
She'll be leaving in a few days more
Dsus4         D    Gm              D
Movin' on forever, maybe she don't care
Dsus4         D     Gm                   D
Holding on together, maybe it just ain't there

Chorus:
Dsus2               Bb        C
You're dancing on a high wire
               Dm
You need to be so sure
                   Bb       C
There used to be a lifeline
            Dm
There isn't anymore


Verse 2:
     Dsus2
We are the same with no similarity
      Gm7            Am7
We talk at the same time
       Dsus2
We believe in freedom and charity
   Gm7                  Am7
As long as I get mine
          Bb    C
The ivory madonna is walking
                    Dsus2
Through the door
                     Bb    C
You watch her from a window
                       Dm          Asus4/E  Dsus2/E
It doesn't matter anymore
Dsus4         D    Gm              D
Moving on forever, maybe she don't care
Dsus4         D     Gm                   D
Holding on together, maybe it just ain't there


Chorus:
Dsus2               Bb        C
You're dancing on a high wire
               Dm
You need to be so sure
                   Bb       C
There used to be a lifeline
            Dm
There isn't anymore
