g- Bb F g- Bb F
I climbed on a roof , to see what I saw
g- Bb F Eb g- F
to look beyond today , to what there is in store
g- Bb F g- Bb F
I did what I must do , then stood a while to think
g- Bb F Eb g- F
as I looked over the edge , then I pulled back from the brink
Eb g- F Eb g- F
I'm taller than you , your smaller than me
Eb g- c- g- Bb F
I'm taller than you will ever be
g- Bb F g- Bb F
I've sat and I've thought , as I've staired at the ground
g- Bb F Eb g- F
of the folly of mans' pride , and how I might get down.
g- Bb F g- Bb F
I've wondered which is worse , which wounds my pride most sore
g- Bb F Eb g- F
my real fear of heights , or the false fear of prides fall.
Eb g- F Eb g- F
I'm taller than you , your smaller than me
Eb g- c- g- Bb F
I'm taller than you will ever be
g- Bb F g- Bb F
I've waited some time , to call courage from somewhere
g- Bb F Eb g- F
before I am discovered , and my fear is laid bare.
g- Bb F g- Bb F
Then I'm seen and it's to late , and I bite my lip and laugh aloud
g- Bb F Eb g- F
a longer ladder is procured , and I climb down from my cloud.
Eb g- F Eb g- F
I'm taller than you , your smaller than me
Eb g- c- g- Bb F
I'm taller than you will ever be
Eb g- F Eb g- F
I'm taller than you , your smaller than me
Eb g- c- g- Bb F
I'm taller than you will ever be
