TOP OF THE WORLD - Dixie Chicks

Tuning: Standard - Capo 7
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger.
I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does.
I wished it had been easier, instead of any longer.
I wished I could have stood
Where you would have been proud,
That won't happen now
That won't happen now.
Chorus:
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard,
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
Top of the world.
I don't have to answer any of these questions.
Don't have no God to teach me no lessons.
I come home in the evening, sit in my chair.
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up,
I stayed right there in my chair.
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow.
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird,
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now.
I wished I'd a known you, wished I'd a shown you,
All of the things I was on the inside.
I'd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain.
I don't know why, don't know why.
Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard.
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow.
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird,
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now.

Whoa. Whoa.
To the top of the world.
x4
To the top of the world.
