Verse 1:
F# minorF#m          D MajorD     A augmentedA
You know I’m trying to climb that hill,
F# minorF#m             D MajorD    A augmentedA
In ten years, I’ll probably be here still.
F# minorF#m         D MajorD   A augmentedA

F# minorF#m          D MajorD    A augmentedA
I saw you cut him down where he stood,

Just say the magic word and I’ll yield.

I’d know just what to do,
         F# minorF#m
When the whistle blows,
 D MajorD            A augmentedA
I might as well enjoy the view.
D MajorD            F# minorF#m
But I’ll never get that close,
     E MajorE         D MajorD  E MajorE
Maybe I don’t have what it takes.
           F# minorF#m
I’ll never get that close,

I falter every time,
      A augmentedA  D MajorD     F# minorF#m  D MajorD E MajorE
Every time you raise the stakes.

From Monday to my Sunday best,
F# minorF#m           D MajorD   A augmentedA
Strike a deal and put it to the test.


Chorus:
D MajorD         F# minorF#m
But when I get so close,
   E MajorE             D MajorD  E MajorE
I can hold it in the palm of my hand,

When the whistle blows,
 D MajorD            A augmentedA
I guess I’ll finally understand,
D MajorD            F# minorF#m

Maybe I don’t have what it takes.

I’ll never get that close,
