        C                   Am
If you tell a bad joke or whether you're broke
     F                      Dm
It doesn't really matter to me
     C                           Am
You don't act your age and your mother's insane
     F                          Dm
But nothing good is coming for free

C                                  Am
I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
C                                  Am
I won't be out looking 'round for nobody else
 F                         Fm
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?

When you were a kid, I know that you hid
From everything that you had around you
So I pulled you in and I know that it's been
Hard to have my love surround you

I just wanna tell you when you're down on yourself
I won't be out lookin' 'round for nobody else
Benny, my dear, how's the view from up here?

Chorus:
  C     Em F
Hmm-hmm-hmm
    G                   C
Benny's on the mountaintop
  C     Em F
Hmm-hmm-hmm
     G                  C
Benny's on the mountaintop

C          Em                          F
Don't be afraid that you're gonna get hurt
                       Dm
If you're living that way,
                     Am
Benny, you'll never learn
                  Em                         F
For whatever it's worth, I know I touched a nerve
             Dm                       G
Don't be surprised by the love you deserve
