Tightrope

Cm

[Verse 1]
    Cm
Sometimes I feel like I'm walking
  Fm                        Cm    G
A tightrope from Heaven to Earth
      Fm                           Cm
Walk steady, walk straight, don't grumble, don't be late
     D7                            G
Get better or you're going to get hurt
     Cm
So I try to walk balanced and healthy
  Fm                        Cm    G
I say I'm fine, wobbles and all
          Fm                           Cm
But some things I can't fake, it's a curse I can't break
         D7                            G
No, the tightrope's no match for the fall
         F              Fm            C
No, the tightrope's no match for the fall

[Chorus]
Am           F             C
Teach me to fall in your direction
             G                  Am
Teach me to hitch my heart to yours
Continues after the ad
             F                 C
Give me the mind to know the difference
             E7                 Am
Between the cart, the cargo and horse
           F                 C
Teach me today I still need saving
             E                Am
Show me the measure of your grace
                F                Fm
When I can't go on, teach me to climb
                 C                Am
When I can't get up, teach me to rise
            F     Fm               Cm   Dm  F  G
And when I fall,      teach me to fly

[Verse 2]
    Cm
You danced on the tightrope like nothing
      Fm                       Cm    G
Made all of the walkers look stiff
     Fm                         Cm
You forgave the sinner and you condemned the winner
         D7                              G
So they took that rope and hung you with it
            Cm
But on the third day something happened
     Fm                          D#
You rose up and looked for your friends
     G                                        Cm
You told them you forgave them and that you'd always be with them
         D7                    G
And that falling is how you ascend
         F           Fm        C
You said falling is how you ascend

[Chorus]
Am           F             C
Teach me to fall in your direction
             G                  Am
Teach me to hitch my heart to yours
             F                 C
Give me the mind to know the difference
             E7                 Am
Between the cart, the cargo and horse
           F                 C
Teach me today I still need saving
             E                Am
Show me the measure of your grace
             F                   Fm
When I can't go on, teach me to climb
             C                   Am
When I can't get up, teach me to rise
            F     Fm               Cm
And when I fall,      teach me to fly
