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
