Verse:

I was born on a tightrope, bright with hope and oblivious

I could not keep my eyes closed, now I know we are hideous
Em D Em Am Em
grinning from ear to ear...
Chorus:
(G) C G D Em
Take me away from here like you said
(G) C G D Em
And I will be grateful with what I have left
(G) C G D Em
Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand
(G) C G D
And take me away my dear
Verse 2:
G C G C G Am
I grew up in a lifeboat tied to shore by the winter wind
G C G C G Am
I was made to be set afloat not star of the show ever glittering
Em D Em Am Em
in center ring, not a clue...
