Intro: GDDsusDEmCVerse:
GDDsusD
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger
EmC
I wished I'd loved jesus, The way my wife does
GDDsusD
I wished it'd been easier, Instead of any longer
EmC
I wished I could've stood, Where you would've been proud
GDDsusD
That won't happen now, That won't happen now
CD
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
EmCG
Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow
CD
And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
EmCG
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now
DDsusD
To the top of the world
Verse:
GDDsusD
I don't have to answer ,Any of these questions
EmC
Don't have no guide to teach me no lessons
GDDsusD
I come home in the evening, Sit in my chair
Em
One night they called me for supper
CG
But I never got up, I stayed right there
DDsusD
In my chair
CD
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
EmCG
Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow
CD
And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
EmCG
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now
DDsusDEmC
To the top of the world, Oooh ooohh
Verse:
GDDsusD
I wished I'd had known you, I wished I had shown you
EmC
All of the things I was on the inside
G
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
DDsusD
When you'd come in in the morning
EmC
To whisper goodbye and go work at the rain
GDDsusD
I don't know why, Don't know why
Chorus:
CD
Cause everyone's singing we just wanna be heard
EmCG
Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, Somehow
CD
And I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird
EmC
And take her for a ride to the top of the world
GDDsusD
Right now, To the top of the world
EmC
Whoaaaa ohhhhhhhhh
Em
To the top of the world
C
To the top of the world
Em
To the top of the world
C
To the top of the world
Em
To the top of the world
