Verse:
[G]Who would have thought that I'd be here by myself?
[Bm]Who would have thought
that you'd be bad for my health?

[G]Who would have thought I'd
be the cause and effect?

I'm just a man on a [G]wir[D]wire

Feel like I'm walkin' a [G]tightrope

I'm counting on [Em7]high hopes to get me over y[Cadd9]you
And I've got my [G]eyes closed
As long as the [D]wind blows

I'm a [Em7]man on a wire, on a wir[Cadd9]wire

I know the conseq[G]consequence[D]uences and
