Intro - CFGDmVerse 1C
If you love somebody
F
Better tell them while theyre here cause
GDm
They just may run away from you
Youll never know what went well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
Ive had the highest mountains
Ive had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
AmG
Now take it in but dont look down
ChorusF
Cause Im on top of the world ay
C
Im on top of the world ay
G
Waiting on this for a while now
Dm
Paying my dues to the dirt
F
Ive been waiting to smile ay
C
Been holding it in for a while ay
G
Take it with me if I can
Dm
Been dreaming of this since a child
C
Im on top of the world.
Verse 2 (*same as V1)
Ive tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something
I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn’t have cause
Ive traveled all this way for something
AmG
Now take it in but dont look down
Chorus (same)
Cause Im on top of the world ay
Im on top of the world ay
Waiting on this for a while now

Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
Im on top of the world.
Cause Im on top of the world ay

Been holding it in for a while ay
Take it with me if I can
