Top of the World Lyrics

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