Intro:
------
Dsus2 Dsus2/G x2

Verse:
------
Dsus2
I had a meetin' cross town
Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
I was runnin' behind
Dsus2
Horns blowin', people cursin'
Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Like they're losin' their minds
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Everybody rushin’ off to build their little empires
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
We all were gettin' later, he was barely gettin' by

Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
An old man walkin' cross a four lane road
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Groceries in his hand, grand kids in tow
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Holdin' up traffic like a box car train
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Like it or not you got some time to think

Chorus:
-------
Dsus2/B
I've been runnin'
Dsus2/F#
I've been gunnin'
Dsus2/G
For that top rung
Asus
Of the ladder all my life
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# Dsus2/G
But what's so bad about being satisfied
Asus
And barely gettin' by

Interlude:
----------
Dsus2 Dsus2/G x2

Verse:
------
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Me and my brother don't talk that much
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
I'm goin' off to bed 'bout the time he's gettin' up
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
He rents a hand-me-down house on a minimum wage
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
I couldn't blame if he did but he never complains

Chorus:
-------
Dsus2/B
I've been runnin'
Dsus2/F#
I've been gunnin'
Dsus2/G
For that top rung
Asus
Of the ladder all my life
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# Dsus2/G
But what's so bad about being satisfied
Asus
And barely gettin' by

Bridge:
----------
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# Dsus2/G Dsus2/G
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# Dsus2/G Asus
Dsus2 Dsus/G

Verse:
------
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Lay the pedal on the floor, thinkin' I should slow down
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
That old man's smilin' as the car horns sound
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Like a band of verman angles come to carry me home
Dsus2 Dsus2/G Dsus2 Dsus2/G
Back to workin' like a dog where I belong

Chorus:
-------
Dsus2/B
I've been runnin'
Dsus2/F#
I've been gunnin'
Dsus2/G
For that top rung
Asus
Of the ladder all my life
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# Dsus2/G
But what's so bad about being satisfied
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# Dsus2/G
I wish I was wiser that way sometime
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# Dsus2/G
One of these days I need to give that a try
A Asus G
Bein' alright
Asus2
With barely gettin' by

Outro:

Dsus2 Dsus2/G x4
