Lyrics

Do you (E5)feel the same when I’m a way from you?

Do you (A5)know the line that I’d walk for you?

We could (B5)turn a round or we could give it up

but we’ll (A5)take what comes,

take what comes.

Oh, the (E5)storm is rag ing a gainst us now.

If you’re a (A5)fraid of fall ing, then don’t look down.

But we (B5)took the step and we took the leap

and we’ll (A5)take what comes,

take what comes.

Feel the wind

in your hair,

feel the rush

way up here.

We’re walk ing the wi re,

love.

We’re walk ing the wi re,

love.

We’re gon na be high (C#m)er

up.

We’re walk ing the wi re, wi re, wi re.

There’s (E5)nights we had to just walk a way.

And there’s a (A5)tears we’ll cry, but those tears will fade.

It’s the (B5)price we pay when it comes to love

and we’ll (A5)take what comes,

take what comes.

Feel the wind

in your hair,

feel the rush

way up here.

We’re walk ing the wi re,

love.

We’re walk ing the wi re,

love.

We’re gon na be high (C#m)er

up.

We’re walk ing the wi re, wi re, wi re.

There’s re.

So, look out down be low.

Look out down be low.

Look out down be low.

Walk ing the wi re, wi re, wi re.

So look out down be low.

Oh, I’ll take your hand when thun der roars.

And I’ll (A5)hold you close, I’ll stay the course.

I (B5)prom ise you from up a bove

that we’ll (A5)take what comes,

take what comes,

love.

We’re walk ing the wi re.

So look out down be low.

We’re walk ing the wi re, we’re walk ing the wi re, we’re walk ing the wi re, wi re, wi re.
