Csus4                    C
She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life.
Csus4                     C                E
Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight.
                             Am
There's a part of me in the chaos that's quiet.
D/F#                            G
And there's a part of you that wants me to riot.

Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?

E/G#  Am
Oh, change your heart.
      Em
Come slow.

Chorus:
            C            Am  G
It's not a hill, it's a mountain,
         F   C/E       F
as you start out the climb.
          C        Am          G
Do you believe me, or are you doubting?
 Dm                          F
We're gonna make it all the way to the light.
      D/F#                     F                C
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight.

Csus4                     C
Every generation gets a chance to change the world.
Csus4                       C
Pity the nation that won't listen to your boys and girls.
Csus4                           C
'Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard.
E/G#                     Am
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?

D/F#                   G
The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear.
E/G#      Am
Oh, but change your heart.
       Em
Come slow.

Chorus:
It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I'll be shouting
That we're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

 G     D    Am7
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not
  G  D C
alone.
 G     D    Am7
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not
  G  D C
alone.

Chorus:
It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As we start out the climb
Listen for me, I'll be shouting
Shouting to the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light

You know we're gonna go crazy
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy if we don't go crazy tonight

Oh, slowly now
Oh, always slow
