| G | D | Em | |
| I | hand you my | ball and | chain |
| G | D | C | |
| You just | hand me that | Same old re | frain |
| G | |
| I'm | walking on a wire |
| D | |
| I'm | walking on a wire |
| Am | G | Dsus4 | Cadd9 | |
| And I'm | falling-- | - |
| I wish I could please you tonight |
| But my medicine just won't come right |
| I'm walking on a wire |
| I'm walking on a wire |
| Am | G | |
| And I'm | falling-- | - |
| D | A | |
| Too many | steps to take |
| C#m | G#m | |
| Too many | spells to break |
| Bm | C# | F#m | |
| Too many | nights awake and | no one else |
| D | A | |
| This grindstone's | wearing me |
| C#m | G#m | |
| Your claws are | tearing me |
| C#m | B | |
| Don't use me | endlessly |
| A | Em | Bm | D | A | |
| It's | too | long, | Too | long to my | self |
| Where's the justice, and where's the sense |
| When all the pain's on my side of the fence |
| I'm walking on a wire |
| I'm walking on a wire |
| And I'm falling--- |
