F                     Dm7
I have walked on the high wire
     Gm7       F      F4  F
With no net to catch me
Dm7                  Gm7
I have stood in the spotlight
            Bb7+          C
Where each flaw could be seen
         Bb7+       C    C/E
And I've anteed my faith
        F      F/A     Bb
To the mercy  of      strangers
                Gm7             Eb7+
'Cause when you ride on the big ride
    Bb7+            C4 C
You don't ride for free
         F     Am7  Bb7+
If we're only brief candles
       C      C/E F
Let's burn for a day
         Bb         F/A
If we're only poor players
      Dm              Bb7+  C
Let's rush to the stage
           Dm7           Bb7+
And if we don't know the ending
       C        A/C#    A
Let's begin anyway
    Bb7+          Dm
It starts in your heart
       Bb      C    F
An expression  of   faith
   Bb7+            Gm7
It starts in your heart
         Bb C     F      Am7 Bb7+ Dm7 Am/D C9 C Bb7+ Bb/C
An expression  of faith

            F             Dm7
Though the north wind is freezing
         Gm7           F      F4
And the thunderclouds gather
          Dm7            Gm7
Still we scatter the new seed
         Bb7+        C
And we trust in the sun
             Bb7+       C     C/E
Though this world is uncertain
      F     F/A     Bb
We deliver our children
    Gm7            Eb7+
To life's great adventure
         Bb7+        C4  C
And the promise of love

Bb
Some call it wisdom
    F
And some call it pain
   Gm7
To find out the truth
      F            C/E
To discover it's name
Dm7
But when all that we know
         G
Doesn't change anything
   Gm7
