Em
[Verse 1]
Em D
Was she ever seeking consolation
Em D
Was she ever prey to the tears
Em D
Isn't she reeking of masturbation
Em D
Like the rest of us
Em
She learned to dance by herself
D
Finding peace on intolerance
Em D
And the current roaring his name
Em
She learned to free herself
D
She learned to walk without fear
Em
And with that slightly bowed grace of her
[Chorus]
G D Em
Tightrope walker
G D Em
Tightrope walker
G D Em
Tightrope walker
G D Em
Tightrope walker
[Verse 2]
Em
She read the books of twilight
D
But there's no guardian of hers but him
Em D
For whom she'd weep and die the death that doesn't die
Em
Oh, she's no friend of mine
D
I would've been back on my knees in no time
Em
I do not flow in her river
D
Quick or slow
[Chorus]
She's a
G D Em
Tightrope walker
G D Em
Tightrope walker
G D Em
Tightrope walker
G D Em
Tightrope walker
[Outro]
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(Her thoughts so cruel and radiant)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(You would sleep inside her fragrance)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(You'd get lost in her dance)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(She's a port reached by chance)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(She doesn't live on fury and sound)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(But she carries honey and silk)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(She will go for your tongue)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
(She's like wild milk)
G D Em
Tightrope walker
G D Em
Tightrope walker
