INTRO: G+G D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD E minorEm C majorC

VERSE:
        G+G            D MajorD
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger
       E minorEm           C majorC
I wished I'd loved jesus, The way my wife does
          G+G           D MajorD
I wished it'd been easier, Instead of any longer
          E minorEm               C majorC
I wished I could've stood, Where you would've been proud
         G+G           D MajorD
That won't happen now, That won't happen now

         C majorC                 D MajorD
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
   E minorEm              C majorC          G+G
Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow
   C majorC                D MajorD
And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
   E minorEm           C majorC         G+G
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now
         D MajorD
To the top of the world

VERSE:
          G+G         D MajorD
I don't have to answer ,Any of these questions
       E minorEm          C majorC
Don't have no guide to teach me no lessons
          G+G         D MajorD
I come home in the evening, Sit in my chair
               E minorEm
One night they called me for supper
        C majorC      G+G
But I never got up, I stayed right there
   D MajorD
In my chair

         C majorC                 D MajorD
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
   E minorEm              C majorC          G+G
Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow
   C majorC                D MajorD
And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
   E minorEm           C majorC         G+G
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now
      D MajorD                 E minorEm  C majorC
To the top of the world, Oooh ooohh

VERSE:
         G+G              D MajorD
I wished I'd had known you, I wished I had shown you
      E minorEm         C majorC
All of the things I was on the inside
           G+G
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
             D MajorD
When you'd come in in the morning
      E minorEm             C majorC
To whisper goodbye and go work at the rain
       G+G        D MajorD
I don't know why, Don't know why

CHORUS:

   C majorC             D MajorD
Cause everyone's singing we just wanna be heard
   E minorEm              C majorC          G+G
Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, Somehow
   C majorC             D MajorD
And I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird
  E minorEm             C majorC
And take her for a ride to the top of the world
   G+G           D MajorD
Right now, To the top of the world

  E minorEm    C majorC
Whoaaaa ohhhhhhhhh
         E minorEm
To the top of the world
