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
