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

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

      C                  D        
Then why would it be so lonely at 
     G
the top

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

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