     A                        G
You don't feel right when I come on strong
       D          A G D
Don't get it wrong
   A                      G
I wait all night but you won't be long
       D           A G D
Don't get it wrong

Chorus:
         D        Gm
Hear me right, I love you from the bottom of
    Bm  Em
my heart
             A      Bm
You make the answer bright
      G           Gm
You touch me in a way that no one
D                 E
else could ever do
Em  A7    D          G
If you'll only love me
Em    A7   D
I'll love you

And if you're tempted to tell a lie
Don't get it wrong
Well it breaks my heart when I see you cry
Don't get it wrong

Get it right, the brightest light that's
shining in the skies
Is shining from your eyes
I love you in a way that no one else could ever do
If you'll only love me
I'll love you

    Am7               D7
I'm often accused of giving to little
      G                     E7
It's got me confused, I'm split down the middle
    Am7                     F
Conflicting reviews of our life coming in
      D
It's tough on a tightrope
Yes, it's tough on a tightrope

Hear me right, I love you from the bottom
of my heart
You make the picture bright
You love me in a way that no one else could
ever do
If you'll only love me
I'll love you

You touch me in a way that no one else could
ever do
If you'll only love me
I'll love you

Tough on a tightrope
Tough on a tightrope
Tough on a tightrope
Tough on a tightrope
Tough on a tightrope
Tough on a tightrope
Tough on a tightrope
Tough on a tightrope
