F                       C               Dm
Pain, sweet pain let’s learn something from it
F                             C          F
Oh see the top brother and I might just summit
F                                      C      Dm
Cause I’ve been pinin' and pinin' for so damn long
                                 C         F
Thinkin' it’s about time someone else is strong
F                                C          Dm
Thinkin' it’s about time someone else is strong

Dm
Humble yourself holy roller
                            C         F
If you don’t you’re gonna’ come down hard
      Dm
Make amends with the boy you were,
                     C F
but not the man you are
          Dm
We heard hymns creeping through all the
                C     F
trees that we grew up in
     Dm                                   C       F
Lost so much faith through time, can’t remember them

Chorus:
           A#                   Dm
You’re so tired but the top is nigh
                      C      F
Keep on going you’ll soon arrive

How lookin' at the stars in the valley
tend to lend a man hope
Have you wishin' all the highways from
this point on lead home
There are mighty fine inclines and
a snaky stretch of rope to scale
Just know wherever you go,
I'll be wishin' you well

Chorus:
You're so tired, but the top is nigh
Keep on goin', you’ll soon arrive
You're so tired, but the top is nigh
Keep on goin', you'll soon arrive

Pain, sweet pain, let's learn somethin' from it
I see the top, brother, and I might just summit
'Cause I've been pinin' and pinin' for so damn long
Thinkin' it's about time someone else is strong
