Am G F [Verse 1] Am G F From here I see clear for miles Am G F Searching through our best times to force a smile Am G My blood is leaving, but the sun's still shining F And I can't see a cloud in sight Am G F I can see our own, but they won't get here in time [Pre-Chorus] F G Every man has a mountain F E And every day is spent climbing [Chorus] Am The view from the top C Is just the journey that brought you F And you'll give it all up E For one more day at the bottom Am At the summit you'll wish C F That you were anywhere but here E It's clear F E Am That every man has a mountain to fear [Verse 2] Am G F I hear they could see the fire for miles Am G F But I don't know if you'd known the cost if you'd ever light it Am G It took your two different banners on the frontline burning F And I ain't put a cloud in sight Am G F If you knew you'd die alone, would you ever stand to fight? [Pre-Chorus] F G Every man has a mountain F E And every day he spends climbing [Chorus] Am The view from the top C Is just the journey that brought him F And he'd give it all up E For one more day at the bottom Am At the summit he'll wish C F That he was anywhere but here E Ain't it clear F E E That every man has a mountain to fear? [Bridge] F I don't wanna close our eyes Am G I don't wanna go our separate ways F Am G I don't want the story that brought us here to end today F I don't wanna close our eyes Am G I don't wanna go our separate ways F E I don't want the story that brought us here to end today [Chorus] (I usually also play chords in the brackets - do whatever you feel like) Am 'Cause the view from the top N.C. Is just the journey that brought us N.C. (Am) And I'd give it all up N.C. (E) For one more day at the bottom N.C. (Am) At the summit I wish N.C. That I was anywhere but here N.C. It's so clear N.C. But I guess every man has a mountain to fear
