Antje Duvekot Vertigo Lyrics

CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G B7 C G
You're on a highwire
And I'm climbing out
And I feel the danger
As I steal a kiss from your mouth
And I will try to hold steady
Wanna make you believe
That the height of this tightrope
Is just second nature to me
CHORUS:
But I will break all my bones
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
And I have never been up this high
There'll be no safety net
When I fall right out of the sky
There will be no ambulance waiting
But I have no wings to fly
And we will meet on the borders
Barefoot and blessed
In colourful graveyards
With flower bouquets for the dead
And I don't ask you to promise
That I will not come to harm
But when the wind tugs my courage
Will you be my brother in arms?
CHORUS:
'Cause I will break all my bones
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
And I have never been up this high
There'll be no safety net
When I fall right out of the sky
There will be no ambulance waiting
But I have no wings to fly
BRIDGE:
But the view from this height
High above the Ferris wheel lights
May cause me to sway
But I am teaching myself to be brave
INSTRUMENTAL: B7 C A G D C G D
CHORUS:
But I may break all my bones
'Cause I lied about the vertigo
And I have never been up this high
There'll be no safety net
When I fall right out of the sky
There will be no ambulance waiting
But I have no wings to fly
OUTRO: (## repeat to end ##)
