You and I were climbing up the ladder

To that mansion on the hill

All of the time never realising
     Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You must first learn how to kill
E minorEm        C majorC
Where the winner takes it all
   G+G         D MajorD
And drowns the loser’s mayday call
E minorEm        C majorC
And the price we all must pay
  D MajorD
Is returned to the land

But at least I’m still around

You and I were strumming our guitars

Playing clubs in a rock ‘n’ roll band

Dreaming up songs for a nickel and a dime

When things ran out of hand
E minorEm      C majorC
Managers and drummer’s wives

Had me run for my dear life
E minorEm       C majorC
From a blessing to a curse
  D MajorD
We had to make a stand

It’s a hard road up

Ships wreck on the ocean floor

But at least I’m still around

Never let go of the fleeting spirit

I’m evolution’s miracle
