Remove Ads A EI wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
F#m DI wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
A EI wished it had been easier, instead of any longer.
F#mI wished I could have stood
DWhere you would have been proud,
AThat won't happen now
EThat won't happen now.
Chorus:
D EThere's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard,
F#m D ADisappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
D EThink I broke the wings off that little song bird,
F#m D AShe's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
ETop of the world.
A EI don't have to answer any of these questions.
F#m DDon't have no God to teach me no lessons.
A EI come home in the evening, sit in my chair.
F#mOne night they called me for supper
DBut I never got up,
A EI stayed right there in my chair.
D EThere's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
F#m D ADisappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
D EThink I broke the wings off that little song bird,
F#m D AShe's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
A EI wished I'd a known you, wished I'd a shown you,
F#m DAll of the things I was on the inside.
A EI'd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
F#m DTo whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
A EI don't know why, don't know why.
D ECause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard.
F#m D ADisappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
D EWanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
F#m D ATake her for a ride to the top of the world right now.
F#m D x4
F#m DWhoa. Whoa.
F#mTo the top of the world.
