Chords

A little, sweet, simple song from the new album 'girl who got away'. 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
