Sitting on the roof of the world

I climbed a mountain

A#

Not knowing that I had

A#sus4 A#

Thought it was just a road from a to b

I took no protection

Not much of anything

Just went as I was

 

Looking in windows

And playing songs

And knocking on doors

 

And I was not scared

I just enjoyed the sights

Kept myself to myself

 

A#sus4 A#

There I was

A#sus4 A#

Sitting on the roof of the world

 

There I was, there I was

Not knowing how I got there or how to leave

 

Everyone says

I was lucky to have got there

As not many can

 

But truth be told

I was saved

By the love

 

Of a good man

Who came and got me

And bought me down

 

From on

Up there

I’d be lying if I didn’t say

 

I missed it now and then

But I have no wish

To Go back there

 

(chorus)

 

Gm

People say

Dm/F D#

What’s so special about being back here

A#

With everyone so close

Gm

But that’s the point

Dm D#

I don’t want to be different

A#

I just want to fit in

 

(chorus)
