[Intro] F G Gsus G Am F [Verse]
               C                       G 
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger 

             Am                      F  
I wished I'd loved jesus, The way my wife does 

                   C                      G  
I wished it'd been easier, Instead of any longer 

                    Am                             F    
I wished I could've stood, Where you would've been proud 

                  C                      G  
That won't happen now, That won't happen now  
[Chorus]
                 F                                 G 
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard 

     Am                            F                   C    
Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow  

      F                                G 
And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird 

      Am                     F                 C 
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now  

                  G        
To the top of the world       
[Verse]
                    C                  G  
I don't have to answer ,Any of these questions 

              Am                   F  
Don't have no guide to teach me no lessons 

                   C                  G  
I come home in the evening, Sit in my chair 

                             Am        
One night they called me for supper 

                F            C   
But I never got up, I stayed right there 

      G     
In my chair 
[Chorus]
                 F                                 G 
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard 

     Am                            F                   C    
Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow  

      F                                G 
And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird 

      Am                     F                 C 
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now  

           G                                  Am    F   
To the top of the world, Oooh  ooohh      
[Verse]
                 C                            G 
I wished I'd had known you, I wished I had shown you 

           Am                  F 
All of the things I was on the inside  

                      C          
But I'd pretend to be sleeping  

                          G  
When you'd come in in the morning 

           Am                         F 
To whisper goodbye and go work at the rain 

             C               G 
I don't know why, Don't know why 
[Chorus]
      F                          G 
Cause everyone's singing we just wanna be heard 

     Am                            F                   C    
Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, Somehow  

      F                         G  
And I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird 

    Am                         F     
And take her for a ride to the top of the world 

      C                      G   
Right now, To the top of the world  

   Am        F   
Whoaaaa ohhhhhhhhh 

                  Am   
To the top of the world  

                  F 
To the top of the world  

                  Am  
To the top of the world 

                  F 
To the top of the world   

                  Am   
To the top of the world
