capo 3rd fret

Cadd9 G Cadd9 G

Cadd9 G
i climbed a mountain , not knowing that i had
Cadd9 G
thought it was just a road from a to B
Cadd9 G
i took no protection , not much of anything
Cadd9 G
just went as i was
Cadd9 G
looking in windows and playing songs
Cadd9 G
and knocking on doors
Cadd9 G
i was not scared , i just enjoyed the sights
Cadd9 G
kept myself to myself

Cadd9 G
there i was
Cadd9 G
sitting on the roof of the world
Cadd9 G
there i was , there i was
Cadd9 G
not knowing how i got there or how to leave

Cadd9 G Cadd9 G

Cadd9 G
everyone says i was lucky to have got there
Cadd9 G
as not many can
Cadd9 G
but truth be told i was saved
Cadd9 G
by the love of a good man
Cadd9 G
who came and got me and bought me down
Cadd9 G
from on up there
Cadd9 G
i’d be lying if i didn’t say i missed it now and then
Cadd9 G
but i have no wish to go back there

Cadd9 G
there i was
Cadd9 G
sitting on the roof of the world
Cadd9 G
there i was , with all the gods
Cadd9 G
not knowing how i got there or how to leave

D/F# Em Bm Cadd9
people say “what’s so special about being back here
G
with everyone so close”
D/F# Em Bm Cadd9
but that’s the point , i don’t want to be different
G
i just want to fit in

Cadd9 G
there i was , there i was
Cadd9 G
sitting on the roof of the world
Cadd9 G
there i was , with all the gods
Cadd9 G
not knowing how i got there or how to leave
