Am
Ain't no mystery
Em
About the way we feel
Am
But you get so alone at times
Em
And all you're
trying to do is
heal
[Verse 2]
Am
What is this great misunderstanding?
Em
Where do
we go from here?
Am
The future's in the sky above us
Em
What if we let it just disappear?
[Chorus]
C
On top of this mountain of madness
Bm Em
It's a long way down to hard ground
C
Please forgive me for asking
Bm Em
But there must be a better way around
C Bm Em
The streets are on fire, the roses are dead and gone
C
On top of this mountain of madness
Bm Em
It's a long way down, so long
[Verse 3]
Am
Ain't no victory
Em
Worth payin' such a cost
Am
That once the final bell has rung
Em
You've earned less than what you've lost
[Verse 4]
Am
So many different people
Em
Different faces and different names
Am
Underneath our blood runs red
Em
And that's what makes us all the same
[Chorus]
C
On top of this mountain of madness
Bm Em
It's a long way down to hard ground
C
Please forgive me for asking
Bm Em
But there must be a better way around
C Bm Em
The streets are on fire, roses are dead and gone
C
On top of this mountain of madness
Bm C
It's a long way down, so long
Bm
So long
Em
So long
