                 A                       E7
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
                F#m                D
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
                      A                      E7
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
                   E7
That wonʼt happen now.

Chorus:
          D                                 E7
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard,
     F#m                         D                  A
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
D                                 E7
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
      F#m                    D                       A
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
          E7
Top of the world.

               A                   E7
I donʼt have to answer any of these questions.
            F#m                  D
Donʼt have no God to teach me no lessons.
                    A                  E7
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,
              A             E7
I stayed right there in my chair.

Chorus:
          D                                 E7
Thereʼs a whole lot of singing thatʼs never gonna be heard
     F#m                         D                   A
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
D                                E7
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
      F#m                    D                       A
Sheʼs never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.

                 A                       E7
I wished Iʼd a known you, wished Iʼd a shown you,
          F#m                 D
All of the things I was on the inside.
                     A                                E7
Iʼd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
                F#m                    D
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
               A              E7
I donʼt know why, donʼt know why.

      D                           E7
Cause everyoneʼs singing, we just wanna be heard.
    F#m                           D                   A
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
D                         E7
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
 F#m                       D                       A
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now.

F#m D x4

  F#m     D
Whoa.  Whoa.

                   F#m
To the top of the world.
                    D
To the top of the world.

F#m D
