CAPO 9 
 
INTRO: G  D Dsus D  Em  C  
 
VERSE: 
               G                       D Dsus D 
I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger 
             Em                      C  
I wished I'd loved jesus, The way my wife does 
                   G                      D  Dsus D 
I wished it'd been easier, Instead of any longer 
                    Em                             C    
I wished I could've stood, Where you would've been proud 
                  G                      D  Dsus D 
That won't happen now, That won't happen now  

                 C                                 D 
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard 
     Em                            C                   G    
Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow  
      C                                D 
And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird 
      Em                     C                 G 
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now  
                  D  Dsus D       
To the top of the world VERSE: G D Dsus D I don't have to answer ,Any of these questions Em C Don't have no guide to teach me no lessons G D Dsus D I come home in the evening, Sit in my chair Em One night they called me for supper C G But I never got up, I stayed right there D Dsus D In my chair C D There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard Em C G Disappearing every day, Without so much as a word, Somehow C D And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird Em C G She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now D Dsus D Em C To the top of the world, Oooh ooohh VERSE: G D Dsus D I wished I'd had known you, I wished I had shown you Em C All of the things I was on the inside G But I'd pretend to be sleeping D Dsus D When you'd come in in the morning Em C To whisper goodbye and go work at the rain G D Dsus D I don't know why, Don't know why CHORUS: C D Cause everyone's singing we just wanna be heard Em C G Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, Somehow C D And I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird Em C And take her for a ride to the top of the world G D Dsus D Right now, To the top of the world Em C Whoaaaa ohhhhhhhhh Em To the top of the world C To the top of the world Em To the top of the world C To the top of the world Em To the top of the world
