Top Of The World

                      C                        G
    I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger,
                     Am                F
    I wished I loved Jesus, the way my wife does.
                       C                       G
    I wish it had been easier, instead of any longer,
                            Am                               F
    I wished I could have stood, where you would have been proud,
                           C                      G
    but that won't happen now, that won't happen now.

            F                                 G
There's a whole lot of singing, that's never gonna be heard,
      Am                            F                    C
disappearing every day, without so much as a word - somehow.
   F                              G
I think I broke the wings of that little songbird,
      Am                       F                       C               G
she's never gonna fly, to the top of the world, right now, top of the world.

                     C                     G
    I don' t have to answer, any of these questions,
                  Am                   F
    don't have no guide to teach me no lessons.
                       C                    G
    I come home in the evening, sit in my chair,
                                 Am                      F
    one night they called me for supper, but I never got up,
                     C           G
    I stayed right there in my chair.

            F                                 G
There's a whole lot of singing, that's never gonna be heard,

                    C                    G
    I wished I'd known you, wished I'd shown you,
                Am                   F
    all of the things, I was on the inside.
                        C                                G
    I´d pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning,
                   Am                     F
    to whisper goodbye, go to work in the rain,
                  C               G
    I don't know why, don't know why.

       F                           G
Cause everyone´s singing, we just wanna be heard,
      Am                            F                   C
disappearing every day, without so much as a word, somehow.
 F                        G
Gonna grab a hold of that little songbird,
Am                           F                       C
take her for a ride, to the top of the world, right now.

    Am    - F         (4x) Am       F
                           Oh !     Oh !
                      Am                        F
    To the top of the world, to the top of the world. (4x)
Am - F  (8x)
