[Intro]
Em  C   Am   B
Ah, ah, ah

Em      Bm   Em
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
         Em
It's the shame, it's the pain, something I can't explain

       Em
It's a noise, it's a voice, and it screams in my brain

       Em
It's a curse and it hurts, but I just keep going

       Em
I lean into the storm, it's the way I was born

          Em
'Cause my fear is a flame and it can't be ignored

        Em
Keeping faith that is blind through the tears in my eyes

      Em
But I just keep going
[Chorus]
Em      Am
I climb Everest

             Em
Knowing it's life or death

        B
Oh, and my survival is suicidal

     Em
This vicious cycle

                Am
Knowing I won't ever rest

         Em
Until my dying breath

            B
'Til I have nothing left

Em
Everest
[Solo 1] |Am |Am |Em |Em |B |B |Em |Em | |Am |Am |Em |Em |B |B | [Verse 2]
B        Em
It's the cure, it's a poison, I don't have a choice in

    Em
The silent defiance that I find my voice in

       Em
'Cause I have decided to just keep going

         Em
It's the rush, it's the feeling that keeps me believing

     Em
That I have the strength when I don't have a reason

   Em
To fight is my vice when I don't have the right

   Em
To just keep going
[Pre-Chorus]
             C
I'm counting bodies on the way

            Am
Knowing any one could take my place

                B
Knowing I could give my life for something

       B
And it might all be for nothing
[Chorus]
        Am
I climb Everest

             Em
Knowing it's life or death

        B
Oh, and my survival is suicidal

     Em
This vicious cycle

                Am
Knowing I won't ever rest

         Em
Until my dying breath

            B
'Til I have nothing left

    Em
Oh, Everest

E                 C
  All my life I've had to fight and

Am                 B
  Don't know why I just keep going

E                    C
  There's a light and I just might

Am                   B
  Get that high if I just keep going

E                 C
  All my life I've had to fight and

Am                 B
  Don't know why I just keep going

E                    C
  There's a light and I just might

Am                 B
  Get that high if I keep climbing
