Trying To Get The Balance Right Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords

Written by singer Johnny Duhan and recorded by Mary Black

We (Am) don’t always live in (E) harmony,
(F) Often there are times (C) when we are enemies;
(Dm) I fight with you and you (Am) fight with me
(E) Trying to get the balance (Am) right.

Sometimes we cause each other pain,
Sometimes our wills are not the same;
Often we tire of the strain
Of trying to get the balance right.

(F) Like a circus pair (G) high up in the  (E) air
(Em) Working on their (G) act, we (E) need that kind of (Am) pact;
(F) High above the ring, (G) watch them (E) balancing,
(Dm) See how they (G) unite, we (E) too can get it (Am) right.

I know we don’t always get along,
One of us often acts too strong,
Sometimes we find we’re going wrong
trying to get the balance right.

Like a circus pair high up in the air
Working on their act, we need that kind of pact.
High above the ring watch them balancing,
See how they unite, we too can get it right.
