Em
You came to see me,
C
When the moon was new,
Em
Saw you standin',
C
In the pouring rain,
Em
Left my message,
C
On the window pain;
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Back on the street a-gain,
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Back on the beat a-gain,
Am7 Bm7 G
I'm back on the top a-gain.
(verso 2)
Em
Saw me climbing to,
C
The top of the hill,
Em
You saw me meeting with,
C
The fools on the hill.
Em
Learned my lesson,
C
And I had my fill.
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Learnt it all in vain,
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Went through it all a-gain,
Am7 Bm7 G
Now I'm back on the top a-gain.
(Refrão 1)
D
Always strivin', always climbing,
C
Way be-yond my will.
D
Same old sensation;
C
Isolation at the top of the bill.
D
Always seeming, like I'm moving,
C
But I'm really going slow.
D
What do you do,
When you get to the top
C
And there's nowhere to go?
(verso 4)
Em
Just how I get there,
C
Will be anybody's guess,
Em
With all the so called,
C
Trappings of success.
Em
Left all the deadbeats,
C
On the top of the hill.
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Too busy raisin' Cain,
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
I'm back on the street a-gain,
Am7 Bm7 G
I'm back on the top a-gain.
