INTRO:
G D Dsus D Em C
VERSE:
G D I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger Em C I wished I'd loved Jesus, the way my wife does G D I wished it'd been easier, instead of any longer Em C I wished I could've stood, where you would've been proud G D That won't happen now, that won't happen now C D There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Em C G Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, somehow C D And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird Em C G She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now D To the top of the world
VERSE:
G D I don't have to answer any of these questions Em C Don't have no God to teach me no lessons G D I come home in the evening, sit in my chair Em One night they called me for supper C G But I never got up, I stayed right there D In my chair C D There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Em C G Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, somehow C D And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird Em C G She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now D Em C To the top of the world, Oooh ooohh
VERSE:
G D I wished I'd had known you, I wished I had shown you Em C All of the things I was on the inside G But I'd pretend to be sleeping D When you'd come in in the morning Em C To whisper goodbye and go work at the rain G D I don't know why, don't know why
CHORUS:
C D Cause everyone's singing we just wanna be heard Em C G Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, somehow C D And I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird Em C And take her for a ride to the top of the world G D Right now, To the top of the world Em C 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
