                 G#                       D#7
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
                Fm                C#
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
                      G#                      D#7
I wished it had been easier, instead of any longer.
                       Fm
I wished I could have stood
                          C#
Where you would have been proud,
                   G#
That wonʼt happen now
                   D#7
That wonʼt happen now.

Chorus:
          C#                                 D#7
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard,
     Fm                         C#                  G#
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
C#                                 D#7
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
      Fm                    C#                       G#
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
          D#7
Top of the world.

               G#                   D#7
I donʼt have to answer any of these questions.
            Fm                  C#
Donʼt have no God to teach me no lessons.
                    G#                  D#7
I come home in the evening, sit in my chair.
                              Fm
One night they called me for supper
                C#
But I never got up,
              G#             D#7
I stayed right there in my chair.

Chorus:
          C#                                 D#7
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard
     Fm                         C#                   G#
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
C#                                D#7
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
      Fm                    C#                       G#
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.

                 G#                       D#7
I wished Iʼd a known you, wished Iʼd a shown you,
          Fm                 C#
All of the things I was on the inside.
                     G#                                D#7
Iʼd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
                Fm                    C#
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
               G#              D#7
I donʼt know why, donʼt know why.

      C#                           D#7
Cause everyoneʼs singing, we just wanna be heard.
    Fm                           C#                   G#
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
C#                         D#7
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
 Fm                       C#                       G#
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now.

Whoa.  Whoa.

To the top of the world.

To the top of the world.
