Verse 1:
                           
                          F#m   E/G#  A                             B7sus4
She says, "I'm dying everyday, would you save me?"
                      A/C#     D                          F#m  E/G#  A B7sus4  D
"Would you pick me up and out of this pain?"
                   F#m             E/G#  A                B7sus4     A/C#  D
She says, "Darling I can't recall why my chest insists to rise and fall."
 
F#m    E/G#    A   B7sus4   A/C#   D

And as he's watching her eyelids close in the T.V. glow,
         D
He can't help thinking that...
  F#m             E/G#  A                B7sus4     A/C#  D 
She's a tightrope walker... and he's the streets below.

So put your arms down honey. This ain't no execution.
D                  A                         B7sus4    B
I was just watching you sleep.
  A/C#           D       
So put that crown down sugar.
         B7sus4          B        A/C#
This ain't no crucifixion.
D                  A                   E
I was just watching you sleep...
 
I was just watching you.

"No one gives a fuck about me and my pain."

 F#m            E/G#  A                  B7sus4          A/C#   D
She's a tightrope walker... and he's the streets below.
