[Intro]
   Em  D  Am  Am
[Verse 1]
   When it's cEmold out, when the nDight is still
   and you're sAmtanding alone.
   I'll be rEmacing when the lDights go out
   and you're lAmosing control, o-o-oh.
   EmHigher, higher, higher we Dgo. Tell me, tell me:
   Are we Amclose enough to test the sun, the sun?
   O-o-oh, Emhigher, higher, higher we Dgo.
   Tell me, tell me the Amjourney's only just begun, begun.
[Chorus]
   EmI-I-I-I'm still standing!
   DI-I-I-I'm still climbing!
   AmEven when the rest are falling,
   the rest are falling, the rest are falling.
   EmI-I-I-I'm still standing!
   DI-I-I-I'm still climbing!
   AmEven when the best have fallen,
   the best have fallen, the best have fallen.
   You Emsay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the clouds,
   I'm never coming down.
   EmSay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the cloudy skies:
   Watch me Emrise.D  
   Watch me Amrise.
[Verse 2]
   Now Emparanoia, I'm setting in
   and I'm Dfalling from the stars again
   while Amevery part of me screams: Hold on!
   'Cause if Emyou can't learn to pin a new break.
   DOh my God, how long does it take?
   AmEvery lesson we learn took so long.
   But it made us Emstrong!
[Chorus]
   EmI-I-I-I'm still standing!
   DI-I-I-I'm still climbing!
   AmEven when the rest are falling,
   the rest are falling, the rest are falling.
   EmI-I-I-I'm still standing!
   DI-I-I-I'm still climbing!
   AmEven when the best have fallen,
   the best have fallen, the best have fallen.
   You Emsay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the clouds,
   I'm never coming down.
   EmSay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the cloudy skies:
   Watch me Emrise.D  
   Watch me Amrise.
[Bridge]
   EmHigher, higher, higher we Dgo.
   AmRight into the fire we go!

   I'm never coming down.
   EmSay, say my Dname.
   'Cause once I get my Amhead above the cloudy skies:
   Watch me Emrise.

[Intro]

Em D Am Am

[Verse 1]

Em D

When it's cold out, when the night is still

and you're standing alone.

Em D

I'll be racing when the lights go out

and you're losing control, o-o-oh.

Em D

Higher, higher, higher we go. Tell me, tell me:

Are we close enough to test the sun, the sun?

Em D

O-o-oh, higher, higher, higher we go.

Tell me, tell me the journey's only just begun, begun.

[Chorus]

I-I-I-I'm still standing!

I-I-I-I'm still climbing!

Even when the rest are falling,

the rest are falling, the rest are falling.

I-I-I-I'm still standing!

I-I-I-I'm still climbing!

Even when the best have fallen,

the best have fallen, the best have fallen.

Em D

You say, say my name.

'Cause once I get my head above the clouds,

I'm never coming down.

Em D

Say, say my name.

'Cause once I get my head above the cloudy skies:

Em D

Watch me rise.

[Verse 2]

Now paranoia, I'm setting in

and I'm falling from the stars again

while every part of me screams: Hold on!

'Cause if you can't learn to pin a new break.

Oh my God, how long does it take?

Every lesson we learn took so long.

But it made us strong!

[Chorus]

I-I-I-I'm still standing!

I-I-I-I'm still climbing!

Even when the rest are falling,

the rest are falling, the rest are falling.

I-I-I-I'm still standing!

I-I-I-I'm still climbing!

Even when the best have fallen,

the best have fallen, the best have fallen.

Em D

You say, say my name.

'Cause once I get my head above the clouds,

I'm never coming down.

Em D

Say, say my name.

'Cause once I get my head above the cloudy skies:

Em D

Watch me rise.

[Bridge]

Em D

Higher, higher, higher we go.

Right into the fire we go!

[Chorus]

I-I-I-I'm still standing!

I-I-I-I'm still climbing!

Even when the rest are falling,

the rest are falling, the rest are falling.

I-I-I-I'm still standing!

I-I-I-I'm still climbing!

Even when the best have fallen,

the best have fallen, the best have fallen.

Em D

You say, say my name.

'Cause once I get my head above the clouds,

I'm never coming down.

Em D

Say, say my name.

'Cause once I get my head above the cloudy skies:

Watch me rise.
