verse 1:
Bm
Sunrise, sunset.
Since the beginning it hasn't changed yet.
People fly higher, they begin to lose sight.
You can't see very clearly when you're in flight.
[Refrão] E
But it's high time that you found,
G
the same people you misuse on your way up
F# Bm
you might meet up, on your way down.
verse 2:
Bm
Vintage wines from the year '62.
It's the thing that you're thinking,
it's what pleases you.
You love to frown when you're cross-town
You think it's an honor just to have you around.
[Refrão] E
It's high time that you found,
G
the same dudes you misuse on your way up,
F# Bm
you might meet up on your way down.
verse 3:
Bm
You think the sun rise and set just for you.
But the same sun rise and set and shine on poor folk too.
I don't mind your turning around
I myself would even like a little higher ground
[Refrão] E
But it's high time you found
G
The same dudes you misuse on your way up
F# Bm
You might meet up on your way down
