Verse 1:



[Emi] You came to see me,

When the [C]moon was new,

[Emi] Saw you standin',

In the [C]pouring rain,

[Emi] Left my message,

On the [C]window pain;



[Ami7] Back on the [Bmi7]street a-[Cmaj7]gain,

[Ami7] Back on the [Bmi7]beat a-[Cmaj7]gain,

I'm [Ami7]back on the [Bmi7]top a-[G]gain.



Verse 2:



[Emi] Saw me climbing to,

The [C]top of the hill,

[Emi] You saw me meeting with,

The [C]fools on the hill.

[Emi] Learned my lesson,

And I [C]had my fill.



[Ami7] Learnt it [Bmi7]all in [Cmaj7]vain,

Bridge 1:



[D] Always strivin', always climbing,

Way be-[C]yond my will.

[D] Same old sensation;

Isolation at the [C]top of the bill.



[D] Always seeming, like I'm moving,

But I'm [C]really going slow.

[D] What do you do,

When you get to the top

And there's [C]nowhere to go?



Verse 4:



[Emi] Just how I get there,

Will be [C]anybody's guess,

[Emi] With all the so called,

Trappings [C]of success.

[Emi] Left all the deadbeats,

On the [C]top of the hill.
