 [C]     [G]        [F]    [C] 
Bright lights and funny clowns 

[F]                   [C] 
hammin' it up on the circus grounds 

[C][G]  [F]  [C] 
horses, big parades 

       [F]                [C]    [G] 
such a pretty sight this love we made 

    [Dm]          [F]           [C] 
from way up here life's just a ball 

     [Dm]      [C]    [F]              [G] 
with you by my side, love is worth the fall 
  

CHORUS: 

          [C]        [G]              [F] 
so we're tap dancing on the highwire 

             [C] 
we could go tumbling down 

[C]                     [Dm] 
but something makes me want to go higher 

            [F]        [Dm] 
think it's having you around 

[F]        [G]    [C]  [F]     [C] 
oh, get a look at us playing with fire 

[F]            [G]           [C] 
oh, we're tapdancing on the highwire 

[C]   [G]              [F]       [C] 
Big applause, from the crowd out here 

[F]                     [C]  [G[ 
watching our hearts hang in mid-air 

[C]  [G]       [F] [C] 
no strings and no fears 

[F]                [C]      [G] 
keeps our love suspended up here 

   [Dm]                      [F]        [C] 
we know we could loose this balance and fall 

       [Dm]              [C]          [F]          [G] 
but a heart that don't dance ain't a real heart at all

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 4
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: F ↔ C
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
