Verse:
G
Iʼve known it from the very start
D
We’re a shot in the darkest dark
Em
Oh no, oh no
C
Iʼm unarmed
G
The waiting is a sadness
D
Fading into madness
Em
Oh no, oh no
C
It wonʼt stop
Chorus:
G
I’m standing on a tightrope alone
D
I hold my breath a little bit longer
Em
Halfway out the door, but it wonʼt close
C
Iʼm holding out for you to say, "Donʼt go"
I would stay forever if you say, "Donʼt go"
Verse:
G
Whyʼd you have to lead me on?
D
Why youʼd have to twist the knife?
Em
Walk away and leave me
C
Bleeding, bleeding?
G
Whyʼd you whisper in the dark
D
Just to leave me in the night?
Em
Now you silence has me
C
Screaming, screaming
Chorus:
G
Say, "Don’t go"
DEmC
I would stay forever if you say, "Don’t go"
Verse:
G
Now Iʼm facing on shaky ground
D
Strik? a match, then you blow it out
Em
Oh no, oh no
C
It’s not fair
G
ʼCause you kiss me and it stops tim?
D
And Iʼm yours, but youʼre not mine
Em
Oh no, oh no
C
Now you’re not there
Chorus:
G
Iʼm standing on the sidewalk alone
D
I wait for you to drive by
Em
Iʼm trying to see the cards that you wonʼt show
C
Iʼm about to fold unless you say, "Donʼt go"
G
I would stay forever if you say, "Donʼt go"
D
Iʼm standing on a tightrope alone
Em
I hold my breath a little bit longer
C
Halfway out the door, but it wonʼt close

Bridge:
G
Whyʼd you have to make me want you?
D
Whyʼd you have to give me nothing back?
Em
Whyʼd you leave to make me love you?
C
I said, "I love you," you say nothing back
Chorus:
G
Iʼm standing on a tightrope alone
