• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:

               A
I wished I was smarter
             E
Wished I was stronger
                 F#m
I wished I loved Jesus
               D
The way the my wife does

                   A
I wished it'd been easier
               E
Instead of any longer
                    F#m                             D
I wished I could've stood, where you would've been proud
                  A                      E
That won't happen now, that won't happen now

Chorus:

          D                                 E
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
         F#m                      D
Disappearing every day without so much as a word
      A
Somehow

  D                                E
I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
          F#m                    D
And she's never gonna fly to the top of the world
A
Now
                  E
To the top of the world


Verse 2:

                A
I don't have to answer
             E
Any of these questions
            F#m
Don't have no God to
            D
Teach me no lessons

                   A
I come home in the evening
          E
Sit in my chair
                             F#m                    D
One night they called me for supper but I never got up
               A           D
I stayed right there in my chair


Chorus:

          D                                 E
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
         F#m                      D
Disappearing every day without so much as a word
      A
Somehow

  D                                E
I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
          F#m                    D
And she's never gonna fly to the top of the world
A
Now
                  E            F#m            D
To the top of the world


Verse 3:

                 A
I wished I'd had known you
             E
Wished I had shown you
           F#m
All of the things
             D
I was on the inside
                      A
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
                          E
When you'd come in in the morning
           F#m                    D
To whisper goodbye go work in the rain
             A              E
I don't know why don't know why

      D                                   E
Cause everyone's singing we just wanna be heard
         F#m                      D
Disappearing every day without so much as a word
    A
Somehow?

    D                     E
Gonna grab a hold of that little songbird
    F#m                        D
And take her for a ride to the top of the world
      A
Right now


Outro:

                  E
To the top of the world

    F#m
Hey hey
    D
Ooh ooh

                  F#m
To the top of the world, to the top of the world
                  D
To the top of the world, to the top of the world
                  F#m
To the top of the world, to the top of the world
                  F#m
To the top of the world, to the top of the world
                  F#m
