[Am] [Bm] [Am] [G]

You can't receive me when the moon [C] was new
[Em]
Saw you standing in the pouring rain
Left my message on the [C] window pane
[Am] Back [Bm] on the street [C] again
[Bm] Back [Am]
[Bm] on the beach [C] again
[D] [Am] I'm [Bm] back on the top [G] again
You
[D] [Em] saw me climbing [C] through the top of the hill
[Em] You saw me meeting with the fools on [C] the hill
[Em] Learned my lesson and I had [C] my fill
[D] [Em] [Bm] Learned it [C] all in vain
[Am] Went through [Bm] it [C] all again
Now [Am] I'm back [Bm] on the [G] top again
I [D]
was driving, I was climbing [C] way beyond my will
[D] Same old sensation, isolation [C] at the top of the hill

Back [Bm] on the street [C] again

[D] You'll find out when you get to the top that [C] there's nowhere to go
[G] [Em] How you get there will be anybody's guess
With all the so-called tropical success
Left all the deadbeats on the top of the [C] hill
