[Verse 1]
Cadd2       G              Dsus4   G
I work the high wire in the center ring
Cadd2    G        Dsus4     G
Defying gravity, that's my thing
Cadd2         G         Dsus4   G
Guess I never wanted no regular life
Cadd2       G           Dsus4    G
I couldn't stand to be nobody's wife

[Verse 2]
Cadd2       G                Dsus4         G
Some people tell me that I'm livin' their dream
Cadd2             G            Dsus4     G
But things in the circus ain't what they seem
Cadd2       G              Dsus4   G
Believe me darlin' it's a lonely world
Cadd2    G         Dsus4   G
It ain't easy for a circus girl

[Verse 3]
Cadd2  G                  Dsus4   G
Nobody knows you when you come to town
Cadd2             G              Dsus4      G
You're somebody's hero or you're somebody's clown
       Cadd2       G              Dsus4 G
And you hope like hell that it'll be enough
             Cadd2    G             Dsus4     G
Cause you're nobody's baby when the sun comes up

[Bridge]
G       C2           G
You can dazzle 'em with beauty
         C2            G
Make 'em laugh until they cry
        C2                    G
You can give 'em the thrill of a lifetime
         Am7        C       Dsus4
But they always say good-bye

[Verse 4]
Cadd2          G           Dsus4   G
It's just that sometimes I get so tired
Cadd2     G              Dsus4   G
Of going' nowhere on that little wire
Cadd2       G                Dsus4   G
I'd like to plant my feet on solid ground
    Cadd2        G            Dsus4    G
But God have mercy it's a long way down

[Verse 5]
G   Cadd2       G              Dsus4      G
So I climb that ladder right on up to the sky
  Cadd2        G        Dsus4     G
I don't look down and I don't ask why
Cadd2          G             Dsus4      Em7
And just for a moment I'm on top of the world
Cadd2      G            Dsus4  G
Just for a moment I'm a circus girl
