Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I wish I was smarter

I wished I was stronger

I wished I loved Jesus

The way my wife does

I wished any of it were easier

Instead of any longer

I wish I could have stood

Where you would have proud

That won't happen now, that won't happen now

Chorus

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard

Disappearing every day without so much as a word

Somehow

Think I broke the wings off that little song bird

She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now

Top of the world

I don't have to answer

Any of these questions

Don't have no god to teach me no lessons

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

In my chair

Chorus

I wished I would have known you

Wished I would have shown you

All of the things

I was on the inside

I pretend to be sleeping

When you come in in the morning

To whisper goodbye

Go to work in the rain

I don't know why

Don't know why

Chorus 2

Cause everybody's singing

We just want to be heard

Disappearing everyday

Without so much as a word

-stop-

Some how

Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird

Take her for a ride to the top of the world

D - stop -

Right now

Instrumental

Oh, oh...

To the top of the world

To the top of the world

To the top of the world

To the top of the world
