[Verse 1]
           G   Em         C       D
I’ve been down -- at the bottom
      G              Em          C    D
So believe me I know -- how you feel
             G                 D#       C      D#
And baby if you hadn’t let the sun, go down on me
         C              D             G
Then it wouldn’t be so lonely at the top

[Verse 2]
          G   Em                  C        D
When you said -- that you didn’t love me
    G                    Em                 C          D
I thought I would never stand on these two feet again
    G                  D#    C          D#
If there were so many fish, left in the sea
      C                  D             G
Then why would it be so lonely at the top

[Bridge]
                     B7         C
You keep pushin’ me down, underwater
      B7                                 C
And I -- can’t make gills, out of these dollar bills
         B7                                         C
And baby -- if there hadn’t been the time, if there - hadn’t been a way
       B7
Then I -- couldn’t stand here before you
            C                           D
I couldn’t get get on my knees here and - say

[Verse 3]
          G  Em          C       D
There you go -- now you have me
       G                Em               C    D
I’ve splattered my soul -- all over the page
           G            D#            C          D#
I’m gonna take another swig, of this bottle for free
    C                         D             G
And I’ll pretend it ain’t so lonely at the top
