G D Em
I hand you my ball and chain
G D C

G
I’m walking on a wire
D
I’m walking on a wire
Am G Dsus4 Cadd9
And I’m falling—
I wish I could please you tonight
But my medicine just won’t come right
I’m walking on a wire
I’m walking on a wire
Am G
And I’m falling—
D A

C#m G#m
Your claws are tearing me
C#m B
Don’t use me endlessly
A Em Bm D A
