[Verse 1] D
I wish I was smarter
A
I wished I was stronger
Bm
I wished I loved Jesus
G
The way my wife does
D
I wished any of it were easier
A
Instead of any longer
Bm
I wish I could have stood
G
Where you would have proud
D A
That won't happen now, that won't happen now
[Chorus] G A
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Bm G
Disappearing every day without so much as a word
D
Somehow
G A
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
Bm G D
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
A
Top of the world
[Verse 2] D
I don't have to answer
A
Any of these questions
Bm G
Don't have no god to teach me no lessons
D
I come home in the evening
A
Sit in my chair
Bm
One night they called me for supper
G
But I never got up
D
I stayed right there
A
In my chair
I wished I would have known you A
Wished I would have shown you
Bm
All of the things
G
I was on the inside
D
I pretend to be sleeping
A
When you come in in the morning
Bm
To whisper goodbye
G
Go to work in the rain
D
I don't know why
A
Don't know why
[Chorus 2] G
Cause everybody's singing
A
We just want to be heard
Bm
Disappearing everyday
G
Without so much as a word
D -stop-
Some how
G A
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Bm G
Take her for a ride to the top of the world
D - stop -
Right now
[Instrumental] Bm G
- Vocal wailing -
Bm G
Oh, oh...
[Outro] Bm
To the top of the world
G
To the top of the world
Bm x 2
To the top of the world
G
