verse 1
Am F
You never met your match you said
Em
In anyone of the opposite sex
Am F
Anyone who shared your bed
Em
Was a little less
Am F
You like to be on top you said
Em
What you got wasn’t what you wanted
Am F
Always worried you were getting less
Em
Than what others get
[Refrão]
Am F
Look at me now, eat your heart out
Em
I’m the cherry sitting on the top
Am F
So look at you now, looking so small
Em
You’d never know that you'd walk so tall
Am F
Now you’re quite forgotten
Em
Rotting at the bottom
Am
And I’m on top
F Em
I’m on top, I’m on top
Post-Chorus
Am F Em

verse 2
Am F
You’re always in control you said
Em
You’re operating at a higher level
Am F
Than all your lovers did
Em
That's what you said
Am F
You never felt you ever loved
Em
You only felt you were playing a part
Am F
And so you loved her less
Em
And got yourself in debt
[Refrão]
Am F
Look at me now, eat your heart out

Now you’re quite forgotten

Rotting at the bottom

And I’m on top

I’m on top, I’m on top
