Capo- 9th Fret
I wished I was (G) smarter
Wished I was (D) stronger
I wished I (Em) loved jesus
The way the my (C) wife does
I wished it'd been (G) easier
Instead of any (D) longer
I wished I could've (Em) stood
Where you would've been (C) proud
That won't happen (G) now
That won't happen (D) now
There's a whole lot of (C) singing
That ain't (D) gonna be heard
Disap(Em)pearing every day
Without so (C) much as a word
Somehow (G)
I think I (C) broke the wings
Off a little (D) songbird
And she's never (Em) gonna fly
To the top of the (C) world
How (G)
To the top of the (D) world
I don't have to (G) answer
Any of these (D) questions
Don't have no (Em) guide to
Teach me no (C) lessons
I come home in the (G) evening
Sit in my (D) chair
One night they called me for (Em) supper
But I never got (C) up
I stayed right (G) there
In my (D) chair
There's a whole lot! of (C) singing
That ain't (D) gonna be heard
Disap(Em)pearing every day
Without so (C) much as a word
Somehow (G)
I think I (C) broke the wings
Off a little (D) songbird
And she's never (Em) gonna fly
To the top of the (C) world
How (G)
To the top of the (D) world (Em) (C)
I wished I'd had (G) known you
Wished I had (D) shown you
All of the (Em) things I
Was on the (C) inside
But I'd pretend to be (G) sleeping
When you'd come in in the (D) morning
To whisper (Em) goodbye
Go work at the (C) rain
I don't know (G) why
Don't know (D) why
Cause (C) everyone's singing
We just wanna (D) be heard
Disap(Em)pearing every day
Without so (C) much as a word
So how? (G)
Gonna (C) grab a hold
Of that little (D) songbird
And take her (Em) for a ride
To the top of the (C) world
Right (G) now
To the top of the (D) worldÊ
