        E                        
You should have been an angel, it 
          E7sus4              A
would have suited you,
       Dsus2               A      
My gold leafed triptych angel, she
         Dsus2       Asus2      
 knows just what to do.
E5        E5

          E                        
In the half light of morning, in a 
      E7sus4                   A
world between the sheets,
   Dsus2                A      
I swear I saw her angel wing, my 
               Asus2      E5      
vision was complete.
    E5    Dsus2

           Dsus2                   
And I know I'll never want another 
Asus2                 E5   E5
lover, my sweet.
                Dsus2
Can there be more in this world,
         Asus2                  
B5alt
Than the joy of just watching you 
sleep'
I don't know just what to feel,
Won't someone tell me my love is 
E          E7sus4
real'

[Verse]
E                     Dsus2
Are we etched in stone or just 
scratched in the sand,
A                                 
Waiting for the waves to come and 
   D    A        E
re-claim the land.
E                       Dsus2
Will the sun shine, all sweetness 
and light,
A                        Dsus2 
Burn us to a cinder, our third 
Asus2   E
stone satelite.

[Chorus 1]
        E               Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles
 high,
A                               
Striding through the clouds on 
Dsus2         E
my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing 
Dsus2
I've found,
A
I don't know how to stop, and it's a
G        Bm   E5
Long, long, long, long way down.

[Verse]
          E5                       
She's all that ever mattered and 
Dsus2
all that ever will,
       A                        
My cup it runneth over, I'll 
Dsus2   Asus2   E
never  get my  fill.
        E                          
The boats in the harbour slip from 
Dsus2
their chains,
A                        Dsus2   
Head for new horizons, lets      
Asus2  E
do the   same.

[Chorus 2]
        E               Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles
 high,
A                               
Striding through the clouds on 
Dsus2         E
my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing 
Dsus2
I've found,
  A
I don't know how to stop,

[Verse]
                 E              
And it's a tightrope, baby, nine
Dsus2
 miles high,
A                               
Striding through the clouds on 
Dsus2         E
my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing 
Dsus2
I've found,
A
I don't know how to stop, and it's a
G        Bm   E5
Long, long, long, long way down.
