C     Am
If you tell a bad joke or whether you're broke
    F
It doesn't really matter to me
    C     Am
You don't act your age and your mother's insane
    F    Dm
But nothing good is coming for free


[Chorus]
    C            Am                F
I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
       Dm                   C
I won't be out looking 'round for nobody else
      Am                    C
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?


[Verse 2]
        C                  Am
When you were a kid, I know that you hid
          F
From everything that you had around you
    C                          Am
So I pulled you in and I know that it's been
     F                    Dm
Hard to have my love surround you


[Chorus]
    C            Am                F
I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
       Dm                   C
I won't be out looking 'round for nobody else
      Am                    C
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?


[Chorus]
  C     Am F
Hmm-hmm-hmm
      Fm      F       C
Benny's on the mountaintop
  C     Am F
Hmm-hmm-hmm
      Fm      F       C
Benny's on the mountaintop


[Bridge]
C          Em                    F
Don't be afraid that you're gonna get hurt
          F          Fm            C
If you're living that way, Benny, you'll never learn
C          Em                    F
For whatever it's worth, I know I touched a nerve
          F          Fm            G
Don't be surprised by the love you deserve


[Chorus]
  C     Am F
Ooh-ooh-ooh
      Fm      F       C
Benny's on the mountaintop
  C     Am F
Ooh-ooh-ooh
      Fm      F       C
Benny's on the mountaintop
  C     Am F
Ooh-ooh-ooh
      Fm      F       C
Benny's on the mountaintop
  C     Am F
Ooh-ooh-ooh
      Fm      F       C
Benny's on the mountaintop
