Capo- 9th Fret 
 
 
               G5
I wished I was smarter 
             D5
Wished I was stronger 
           E5
I wished I loved jesus 
               C5
The way the my wife does 
                   G5
I wished it'd been easier 
               D5
Instead of any longer 
                    E5
I wished I could've stood 
                        C5
Where you would've been proud 
                  G5
That won't happen now 
                  D5
That won't happen now 
                       C5
There's a whole lot of singing 
           D5
That ain't gonna be heard 
     E5
Disappearing every day 
           C5
Without so much as a word 
        G5
Somehow  
          C5
I think I broke the wings 
             D5
Off a little songbird 
                E5
And she's never gonna fly 
                  C5
To the top of the world 
    G5
How  
                  D5
To the top of the world 
                G5
I don't have to answer 
             D5
Any of these questions 
              E5
Don't have no guide to 
            C5
Teach me no lessons 
                   G5
I come home in the evening 
          D5
Sit in my chair 
                             E5
One night they called me for supper 
                C5
But I never got up 
               G5
I stayed right there 
      D5
In my chair 
                        C5
There's a whole lot! of singing 
           D5
That ain't gonna be heard 
     E5
Disappearing every day 
           C5
Without so much as a word 
        G5
Somehow  
          C5
I think I broke the wings 
             D5
Off a little songbird 
                E5
And she's never gonna fly 
                  C5
To the top of the world 
    G5
How  
                  D5      E5 C5
To the top of the world 
                 G5
I wished I'd had known you 
             D5
Wished I had shown you 
           E5
All of the things I 
           C5
Was on the inside 
                      G5
But I'd pretend to be sleeping 
                          D5
When you'd come in in the morning 
           E5
To whisper goodbye 
               C5
Go work at the rain 
             G5
I don't know why 
           D5
Don't know why 
      C5
Cause everyone's singing 
              D5
We just wanna be heard 
     E5
Disappearing every day 
           C5
Without so much as a word 
        G5
So how?  
      C5
Gonna grab a hold 
               D5
Of that little songbird 
             E5
And take her for a ride 
                  C5
To the top of the world 
      G5
Right now 
                  D5
To the top of the world? 
 

E5 C5 E5 C5 E5 C5 
 
E5                   C5 
Ohhh ohhhhhhhh    Ohhh ohhhhhhh 
                    E5                        C5 
To The top of the world    To the top of the world (x3)
