When it's cEmold out, when the nDight is still
   and you're sAmtanding alone.
   I'll be rEmacing when the lDights go out
   and you're lAmosing control, o-o-oh.


   EmHigher, higher, higher we Dgo. Tell me, tell me:
   Are we Amclose enough to test the sun, the sun?
   O-o-oh, Emhigher, higher, higher we Dgo.
   Tell me, tell me the Amjourney's only just begun, begun.



Em I-I-I-I'm still standing!
D I-I-I-I'm still climbing!
Am Even when the rest are falling,

the rest are falling, the rest are falling.
Em I-I-I-I'm still standing!
D I-I-I-I'm still climbing!
Am Even when the best have fallen,

the best have fallen, the best have fallen.
   You Emsay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the clouds,

I'm never coming down.
   EmSay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the cloudy skies:
   Watch me Emrise.  D 
   Watch me Amrise.


   Now Emparanoia, I'm setting in
   and I'm Dfalling from the stars again
   while Amevery part of me screams: Hold on!
   'Cause if Emyou can't learn to pin a new break.
   DOh my God, how long does it take?
   AmEvery lesson we learn took so long.
   But it made us Emstrong!


Em I-I-I-I'm still standing!
D I-I-I-I'm still climbing!
Am Even when the rest are falling,

the rest are falling, the rest are falling.
Em I-I-I-I'm still standing!
D I-I-I-I'm still climbing!
Am Even when the best have fallen,

the best have fallen, the best have fallen.
   You Emsay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the clouds,

I'm never coming down.
   EmSay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the cloudy skies:
   Watch me Emrise.  D 
   Watch me Amrise.

   EmHigher, higher, higher we Dgo.
   AmRight into the fire we go!

Em I-I-I-I'm still standing!

Em I-I-I-I'm still standing!
D I-I-I-I'm still climbing!
Am Even when the best have fallen,

the best have fallen, the best have fallen.
   You Emsay, say my Dname.
