                 A#                       F7
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
                Gm                D#
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
                      A#                      F7
I wished it had been easier, instead of any longer.
                       Gm
I wished I could have stood
                          D#
Where you would have been proud,
                   A#
That wonʼt happen now
                   F7
That wonʼt happen now.

Chorus:
          D#                                 F7
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard,
     Gm                         D#                  A#
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
D#                                 F7
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
      Gm                    D#                       A#
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
          F7
Top of the world.

               A#                   F7
I donʼt have to answer any of these questions.
            Gm                  D#
Donʼt have no God to teach me no lessons.
                    A#                  F7
I come home in the evening, sit in my chair.
                              Gm
One night they called me for supper
                D#
But I never got up,
              A#             F7
I stayed right there in my chair.

Chorus:
          D#                                 F7
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard
     Gm                         D#                   A#
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
D#                                F7
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
      Gm                    D#                       A#
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.

                 A#                       F7
I wished Iʼd a known you, wished Iʼd a shown you,
          Gm                 D#
All of the things I was on the inside.
                     A#                                F7
Iʼd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
                Gm                    D#
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
               A#              F7
I donʼt know why, donʼt know why.

      D#                           F7
Cause everyoneʼs singing, we just wanna be heard.
    Gm                           D#                   A#
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
D#                         F7
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
 Gm                       D#                       A#
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now.

Gm D# x4

  Gm     D#
Whoa.  Whoa.

                   Gm
To the top of the world.
                    D#
To the top of the world.

Gm D#
