D                  G 
I was walking on a wire

Oh oh...

                     Bm 
Had to walk before I crawled 
       A              G

D                     G 
There were faces all around 
D                        G 
I put my gloves up for a fight 
D                          G 
One sucker punch and I was down

I was flying through the clouds

Pucker up, it's time to kiss the ground
