VERSE 1
********
                       B         C
We don't always live in harmony
                         G                Am
And often there are times we are enemies
                     Em
I fight with you, and you fight with me
B                        Em
Trying to get the balance right

VERSE 2
********
                       B
Sometimes we cause each other pain
    C              G                  Am
Sometimes our wills are not the same
                 Em
And often we tire of the strain
B                        Em        C
Trying to get the balance right

CHORUS
*******
                    D
Like a circus pair
               Bm   Am
High up in the air
                 D
Working on their act
   B                 Em      C
We need that kind of pact
                     D
High above the ring
           Bm         Am
Watch them balancing
              D
See how they unite
    B               Em
We, too, can get it right

VERSE 3
********
                        B          C
We don't always seem to get along
                         G           Am
And one of us often acts too strong
                        Em
Sometimes we find we're going wrong
B                        Em        C
Trying to get the balance right

CHORUS
*******
                    D
Like a circus pair
               Bm   Am
High up in the air
                 D
Working on their act
   B                 Em      C
We need that kind of pact
                     D
High above the ring
           Bm         Am
Watch them balancing
              D
See how they unite
    B               Em
We, too, can get it right

But I love you, and you love me
        B              Em
When we get the balance right

We can get the balance right
