   B9         E9     A     G
 
Are A and G parts of the verse??  It seems to me the chords to the
verses were B9 (As above)  G#m E9  and the intro stuff following that. I've
written this against the lyrics I got from nevada.----UJDB9
Caught up in a world wind cant catch my breath, knee deep in hot water
 
broke out in cold sweat, cant catch the turtle in this rat race feels like
     G#m7     E9                  E-D-B7  A-G-E
I'm losing time at breakneck pace.The chorus is quite correct...(As Chuck Dolese wrote below..)
except the A and G below should (IMHO) be replaced by A and E9(?)......UJD.

Song::
 
  INTRO 2x
 
Verse 1:
                         B9
  Caught up in a world wind
  Can't catch my breath,
  Knee deep in hot water
  Brake out in cold sweat
  Can't catch the turtle
  In this rat race
                        Abm  E9
  Feels like I'm losing time
  At breakneck pace.
 
  INTRO 2x
 
Verse 2:
                       B9
  Afraid of my own shadow
  In the face of grace
  Heart full of darkness
  Spotlight on my face
  There was love all around me
  But I was looking for revenge
                           Abm  E9
  Thank God it never found me
  Would've been the end
 
  MIDRO 2x
 
Chorus 1:
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Steppin on my friends
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Was a shame and a sin
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Between wrong and right
              A         E
  Walking the tightrope
               B
  Both day and night

Verse 3:
                          B9
  Lookin back in front of me
  In the mirror's a grin
  Through eyes of love I see
  I'm really lookin at a friend
  There's a whole lot of problems
  That's the way life is
                       Abm  E9
  My heart goes out to others
  Who are there to make amends

  Try to make it right
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Every day and every night
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Bring it all around (?)
              A         E

  From the lost to found

Chorus 3:
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Stretchin round the world
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Save the boys and girls
                     E9
  Walking the tightrope
                     B9
  Let's make it right
