Verse 1:
Em C
You came to see me when the moon was new.
Em C
Saw you standin' in the pouring rain.
Em C
Left my message 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.
Verse 2:
Em C
Saw me climbing to the top of the hill,
Em C
You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill.
Em C
Learned my lesson, 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.
Bridge 1:
D C
Always strivin', always climbing way be-yond my will.
D C
Same old sensation; isolation at the top of the bill.
D C
Always seeming like I'm moving, but I'm really going slow.
D C
What do you do, when you get to the top and there's nowhere to go?
Verse 4:
Em C
Just how I get there will be anybody's guess,
Em C
With all the so called trappings of success.
Em C
Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill.

Too busy raisin' Cain,
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
I'm back on the street a-gain.

I'm... back on the top, a-gain.
