[Verse 1]
D                         G
Where did you leave your baby
                D
Bleeding in her bed
                      G
Her ghost has come to stay
            E                        G
Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away

D                            G
. . . In the bar we sit like blackbirds
                D
With our broken wings
                          G
Like clocks without their springs
          E                 G
Just like time doesn't mean anything 

[Chorus]
D     C   G
Won't you tell me
 A               D     C    G
Which way to the top?  Aaaaah
    A                 Bm
You know that I can't stay
A    E7
Down here
D             G
Yea - e - aaah
D             G  E7  G  E7
Yea - e - aaah

[Verse 2]
D                  G                        D
We used to ride around in a broken down old car
                     G
But now I'm changing trains
             E                       G
Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between

D                          G
. . . Mom and Dad are fast asleep now
                   D
But I'll be wide awake             
                G
A surfer in the break
         E                       G
Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave
 
And a place in the shade

[Chorus]
D     C    G
Won't you tell me
A                 D    C   G
Which way to the top?  Aaaah
  A                    Bm
You know that I can't stay
D/A    E
Down here

[Bridge]
           G            D
You better . . get it now
F#
While the getting's good (while the getting's goood)
G          D            E7
. . Get it now while it's happening (while it's happening to you)
          G             D      
You better . . get it now
F#
While the getting's good (while the getting's good)
G           D            E
. . Get it now while it's happening (while it's happening to you)
G
(oh yeah)(oh yeah)

[Chorus]
D     C    G
Won't you tell me
A                 D    C   G
Which way to the top?  Aaaah
  D/A                    Bm
You know that I can't stay
A    E7
Down here

[Chorus]
D     C    G
Won't you tell me
A                 D    C   G
Which way to the top?  Aaaah
  A                    Bm
You know that I can't stay
A    E
Down here
