  song: Highwire
  group: Gin Blossoms
  Album: Congratulations I'm Sorry

  This is my version of Highwire. That's one of the best songs by Gin Blossoms
  and it's pretty easy to play. There are 4 parts in this song.

   part 1:

   --------------2-2-2--3-3--2------------------------------|
   --------------3-3-3--3-3--3------------------------------|
   --------------2-2-2--2-2--2------------------------------|
   --------------0-0-0--0-0--0------------------------------|

 Lyrics:

       I wanna take so far
       but they don't want to let us out
       But they do, they do, they do
       I don't wanna walk on that highwire
       They ain't gonna let us down
       But they do, they do, they do

       What I could never believe in
       I was never really even
       And I forgot about the cost
       And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost

       Didn't really wanna live it over
       Or even wanna live it down
       I do, I do, I do

               "SOLO"

       What I could never believe in
       I was never really even
       And I forgot about the cost
       And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost

       Didn't really wanna live it over
       Or even wanna live it down
       I do, I do, I do
       I do, I do, I do
       I do, Oh, I do
