Gm A# D# F I looked into the mirror What did I see? There was a big black beast Looking back at me You looked into my eyes What did you see? You saw a big black beast Magnified in me Chorus: D# Like a man on a wire Gm I set myself on fire F Destroyer of a dream D# Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Gm Like a man on a wire I was like a volcano Just waiting to explode I have been resurrected, reborn And I have been transformed I was a green eyed monster Could you tell I was afraid? I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face Chorus: Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire I set myself on fire Destroyer of a dream Trying to find a spark Desperate for love Like a man on a wire That's right Yeah, I see you sitting around With your wristwatch And your white collared shirt I see you hoping to watch me fail, uh-huh You're hoping to watch me fail, uh-huh I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  D#  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
