C    C C  C |   C  C   F F |C C C C | C C F F |
Such a feelin's comin' over me
C     C  C  C | C  C   F      F|C C C C | C C C C |
There is wonder in the things I see
      F            G/F
Not a cloud in the sky
        Em        Am/E
Got the sun in my eyes
      Dm           Fm              F/G
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

C    C     C C |  C   C    F F|C C C C | C C F F |
Everything I want the world to be
C  C  C   C |  Dm Dm  Dm  Dm| C C C C | C C C C |
Is coming true especially for me
        F         G/F
And the reason is clear
       Em            Am/E
It's because you are here
           Dm               Fm               F/G
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen


           C                        F/C
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
        C         Dm           C
And the only explanation I can find
       F/C            G/D        C/E               F
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
C           G      N.C.
Your love's put me on the top of the
|C C C C|C C F F|
 world        Top of the
|C C C C|C C F F|
 world        Top of the

C   C     C  C | C    C  F     F    |C C C C | C C F F |
Something in the wind has learned my name
C   C   C  C |  C     C   F F     |C C C C | C C C C |
telling me that things are not the same
       F             G/F
In the leaves on the trees
        Em           Am/E
and the touch of the breeze
          Dm                Fm           F
There's a pleasant sense of happiness for me


C     C  C C |C   C    F F | C C C C | C C F F |
There is only one wish on my mind
C    C    C   C |Dm      Dm Dm  Dm  |C C C C | C C C C |
When this day is through I hope I'll find
       F           G/F
That tomorrow will be
    Em               Am/E
the same for you and me
      Dm           Fm             F/G
All I need will be mine if you are here

           C                        F/C
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
        C         Dm           C
And the only explanation I can find
       F/C            G/D        C/E               F
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Top of the world
  (Such a feeling coming over me now)
Top of the world
  (Every thing I want the world to be now)

Top of the world
I'm top top top top top
Top of the world
