      G+G                       D MajorD
There's a man out here puts his head in the mouth of a crocodile,
      G+G                          D MajorD
Puts the whole thing in, takes it out, and gives the crowd a great big smile,
     E minorEm                          D MajorD
And they walk away with their illusions of safety safely in - tact,
     G+G                        D MajorD
And they tell their little wide eyed kids, "It's only an act!"

      G+G                        D MajorD
There's a man out here throws knives at a wheel, with a blindfold on,
     G+G                          D MajorD
And the wheel spins round, and the knives bear down till they find their home,
      E minorEm                        D MajorD
And I can feel the rush, and the whoosh, of every blade of steel,
G+G                    D MajorD
  'Cause I am the woman on the wheel-----!


     G+G                       D MajorD
Some - times I get lonely, sometimes I get scared, but most times bored,
     G+G                           D MajorD
Some - times I ask God, "Please, God, just show me what's be - hind that door!",
   E minorEm                       D MajorD
As if God was Monty Hall, and this was 'Let's make a deal',
G+G                  D MajorD
  And I am the woman on the wheel-------!


     G+G              D MajorD
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!
     G+G              D MajorD
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!


    G+G                       D MajorD
Had a sweet little baby in Coeur D'Alene, he was an acrobat,
     G+G                       D MajorD
Took me out on the wire, man, I never knew love could feel like that,
       G+G                          D MajorD
But, in the end, he was a man who couldn't keep his feet on the ground too long,
    G+G                    D MajorD
In the end it's just another highwire act gone wrong!

     G+G                            D MajorD
So it's on with the show, and it's send in the clowns, and the trapeze act,
     G+G                        D MajorD
And it's more of the same, and it's less of a game than a cold... hard... fact,
E minorEm                        D MajorD
Most times, it's better not to ask myself how I feel,
    G+G                   D MajorD
Oh--,   I'm just the woman on the wheel------!


     G+G                D MajorD
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!
     G+G
Woo--oo, hoo------- oo - oo,oo - oo, hoo!

Now I know what you're thinking, as the knives fly by, and they find their mark,
         G+G                          D MajorD
You're thinking, one false move, and it's a real bad day at the a - musement park,
        G+G                     D MajorD
You wouldn't wanna be me, but you need me just the same,
     G+G                        D MajorD
To re - mind you what you stand to lose, and what you stand to gain!


   G+G                       D MajorD
They say I've got a death wish, yeah, but I don't think that's true,
  G+G                     D MajorD
As far as I can see, it's less about me, and more about you,
       E minorEm                        D MajorD
You see, it ain't your fears, so much as what your fears re - veal,
G+G               D MajorD
  I'm just the woman on the wheel!
