Ev ’ry bod y wants to slap your the back, wants to (Em7)shake your a hand when you’re (G)up on the top of that (D)moun tain.

But let one of those rocks give the way, then you (Em7)slide back down, look a (G)up and a see who’s a (D)round then.

Well, This ain’t where the (Em7)road comes to an end, this ain’t where the (A)band is wag on stops.

This is just you (Em7)one of those times when This a lot of (A)folks jump off.
