Top Of The World

[G]  [D] [Dsus4] [D]  [Em]  [C]

I wished I was [G]smarter, I wished I was [D]stronger
I wished I'd [Em]loved jesus, The way my [C]wife does
I wished it'd been [G]easier, Instead of any [D]longer
I wished I could've [Em]stood, Where you would've been [C]proud
That won't happen [G]now, That won't happen [D]now

There's a whole l[C]ot of singing that's never gonna b[D]e heard
Disap[Em]pearing every day, Without so [C]much as a word, Some[G]how
And I [C]think I broke the wings off that [D]little songbird
She's [Em]never gonna fly to the [C]top of the world, [G]now
To the top of the [D]world

I don't have to answ[G]er ,Any of these qu[D]estions
Don't have no [Em]guide to teach me no [C]lessons
I come home in the [G]evening, Sit in my [D]chair
One night they called me for [Em]supper
But I never got [C]up, I stayed [G]right there
In my [D]chair

There's a whole l[C]ot of singing that's never gonna b[D]e heard
Disap[Em]pearing every day, Without so [C]much as a word, Some[G]how
And I [C]think I broke the wings off that [D]little songbird
She's [Em]never gonna fly to the [C]top of the world, [G]now
To the top [D]of the world, Oooh  ooohh          [Em]                [C]

I wished I'd had [G]known you, I wished I had sho[D]wn you
All of the [Em]things I was on the [C]inside
But I'd pretend to be [G]sleeping
When you'd come in in the [D]morning
To whisper [Em]goodbye and go work at the [C]rain
I don't know [G]why, Don't know [D]why

Cause [C]everyone's singing we just [D]wanna be heard
Disap[Em]pearing every day, without so [C]much as a word, Some[G]how
And I [C]wanna grab a hold of that [D]little songbird
And [Em]take her for a ride to the [C]top of the world
Right [G]now, To the top of the [D]world

Who[Em]aaaa ohhhh[C]hhhhh
To the top of the [Em]world
To the top of the [C]world
To the top of the [Em]world
To the top of the [C]world
To the top of the [Em]world
