     A#                  Gm7  C Gm7
You walk out on the high wire
           F            A# C7 F
You’re a dancer on thin ice
            Gm7         A#   C A7
You pay no heed to the danger
               Dm C Fsus4 F
And less to advice
      Gm7             A#    C
Your footsteps are forbidden
             A7               A#maj7 A#6 F
But with a knowledge of your sin
                Gm7               A#    F
You throw your love to all the strangers
     Dm
And caution to the wind

And you go dancing through doorways
Just to see what you will find
Leaving nothing to interfere
With the crazy balance of your mind
And when you finally reappear
At the place where you came in
You've thrown your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind

          C
It takes love over gold
And mind over matter
                A#m6        Dm
To do what you do that you must
  A#       C
When the things that you hold
     D#maj7       Gm7
Can fall and be shattered
    A#m6             A7          Dm7
Or run through your fingers like dust
