TOP OF THE WORLD (2004) by Patty Griffin Chords

[Eb] _ _ _ _ I wish I was smarter, _ _ _ wish [Bb] I was stronger
_ I [Gm] wish [Cm] I'd loved Jesus _ the _ way [Ab] my wife does
_ I wish it had been [Eb] easier _ instead _ of any [Bb] longer
_ _ I [Eb] wish I [Cm]
could've stood where you would've been [Ab] proud
But that won't happen [Eb] now, that won't happen
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm]
[Ab] There's a whole lot of singing that's [Gm] never [Eb] gonna be heard
[Cm] Disappearing everyday [Ab] without so much as a word
[Eb] Some _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] think I broke the [Bb] wings off that little songbird
[Cm] She's never gonna fly [Ab] to the top of the world
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ To the top [Bb] of the [C] _ _ [Ebm] world
I don't [Eb] have to _ answer any of [Bb] these questions
_ _ Don't [Cm] have no God to _ _ teach [Ab] me no _ lessons
I'd [Eb] come home in the evening, _ _ _ _ sit in [Bb] my chair
_ _ One night they called me [Ab] for [Cm] supper, but I [Ab] never got up
I stayed [Eb] right there [Cm] in my [Bb] chair _
[Eb] There's a whole [Ab] lot of singing that's [Bb] never gonna be heard
[Cm] Disappearing everyday without so much [Ab] as a [Eb] word
Some _ _ _ _ _ _ _ think I broke the wings off [Bb] that little songbird
[Cm] She's never gonna fly [Ab] to the top of the world
[Eb] To _ _ _ _ the top [Gm] of the [Bb] world _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ I _ [Fm] wish [Eb] I'd have known you, _ _ _ wish [Bb] I'd have shown you
_ _ [Eb] All [Cm] of the things I _ _ was [Ab] on the inside
But I'd pretend to [Eb] be sleeping _ when you'd come in in [Bb] the morning
To _ _ whisper [Cm] goodbye and go to work [Ab] in the rain
Now I don't [Eb] know why, don't [Bb] know _ why
[Ab] There's everyone singing [Bb] we just wanna be heard
[Cm] Disappearing everyday [Ab] without so much as a word
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] I wanna grab ahold [Bb] of that little songbird
[Cm] Take her for a ride [Ab] to the top of the world
Right [Eb] now, _ _ _ to the top [Bb] of the _ world
_ [Eb] Hey, [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ hey, [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ to the top of [Cm] the world
To the [Ab] top of the world
To the top of [Cm] the world
To the top of [Ab] the world
_ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
