Tonality
AE
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
F#mD
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
AE
I wished it had been easier, instead of any longer.
F#m
I wished I could have stood
D
Where you would have been proud,
A
That wonʼt happen now
E
That wonʼt happen now.
Chorus:
DE
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard,
F#mDA
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
DE
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
F#mDA
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
E
Top of the world.
AE
I donʼt have to answer any of these questions.
F#mD
Donʼt have no God to teach me no lessons.
AE
I come home in the evening, sit in my chair.
F#m
One night they called me for supper
D
But I never got up,
AE
I stayed right there in my chair.
Chorus:
DE
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard
F#mDA
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
DE
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
F#mDA
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
AE
I wished Iʼd a known you, wished Iʼd a shown you,
F#mD
All of the things I was on the inside.
AE
Iʼd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
F#mD
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
AE
I donʼt know why, donʼt know why.
DE
Cause everyoneʼs singing, we just wanna be heard.
F#mDA
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
DE
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
F#mDA
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now.
F#mD x4
F#mD
Whoa. Whoa.
F#m
To the top of the world.
D
To the top of the world.
F#mD
