Verse 1:

Em           B7
 I've been a-round the world,
Em              B7

But I'm not.

Chorus 1:

Am         B7
 Ev'rybody knows my name,
Em               C
 But it's just a crazy game.

 Oh it's lonely at the top.

 Listen to the band they're playing,

Just for me.

Am                 B7
 All the applause, all the parades,
Em                 C
 And all the money I have made;
Em       B7
 Oh it's lonely,
       Em   C#m7  Ddim7  B/Eb
At the top.

Am              B7
 Listen all you fools out there,
Em                 C
 Go on and love me I don't care.
Em       B7            Em
 Oh it's lonely at the top,
C9        B7            Em
 Oh, it's lonely at the top.
