Capo 2

             D
I wish I was smarter
                A
I wished I was stronger
             Bm
I wished I loved Jesus
            G
The way my wife does
                    D
I wished any of it were easier
            A
Instead of any longer
                     Bm 
I wish I could have stood
                      G 
Where you would have proud
                   D                     A
That won't happen now, that won't happen now

Chorus:
           G                              A
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
       Bm                      G 
Disappearing every day without so much as a word
     D
Somehow
G                            A
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
       Bm                     G                      D
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
            A
Top of the world

                 D
I don't have to answer
             A
Any of these questions
              Bm               G
Don't have no god to teach me no lessons
                    D
I come home in the evening
       A
Sit in my chair
                            Bm
One night they called me for supper
             G
But I never got up
                D
I stayed right there
      A
In my chair

Chorus

n.c.                   D
I wished I would have known you
                    A
Wished I would have shown you
            Bm
All of the things
               G
I was on the inside
                 D
I pretend to be sleeping
                        A
When you come in in the morning
            Bm
To whisper goodbye
                   G 
Go to work in the rain
              D
I don't know why
            A
Don't know why

Chorus 2:
       G
Cause everybody's singing
         A
We just want to be heard
      Bm     
Disappearing everyday
            G
Without so much as a word
      D    -stop-
Some how
G                     A
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Bm                          G
Take her for a ride to the top of the world
       D - stop -
Right now

Oh,  oh...  

                   Bm
To the top of the world
                   G
To the top of the world
                   Bm          x 2
To the top of the world
                   G
To the top of the world
