guitar chords lyrics
CAPO 9
INTRO: G D Dsus D Em C
VERSE:
G 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
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
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
To the top of the world
VERSE:
G 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
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
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 Em C
To the top of the world, Oooh ooohh
VERSE:
G 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
When you'd come in in the morning
Em C
To whisper goodbye and go work at the rain
G 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
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
