Patty Griffin - Top of the world

I wished I was ^Gsmarter, I wished I was ^Dstronger I wished I'd ^Emloved jesus, The way my ^Cwife does I wished it'd been ^Geasier, Instead of any ^Dlonger I wished I could've ^Emstood, Where you would've been ^Cproud That won't happen ^Gnow, That won't happen ^Dnow

There's a whole l^Cot of singing that's never gonna b^De heard Disap^Empearing every day, Without so ^Cmuch as a word, Some^Ghow And I ^Cthink I broke the wings off that ^Dlittle songbird She's ^Emnever gonna fly to the ^Ctop of the world, ^Gnow To the top of the ^Dworld

I don't have to answ^Ger ,Any of these qu^Destions Don't have no ^Emguide to teach me no ^Clessons I come home in the ^Gevening, Sit in my ^Dchair One night they called me for ^Emsupper But I never got ^Cup, I stayed ^Gright there In my ^Dchair

There's a whole l^Cot of singing that's never gonna b^De heard Disap^Empearing every day, Without so ^Cmuch as a word, Some^Ghow And I ^Cthink I broke the wings off that ^Dlittle songbird She's ^Emnever gonna fly to the ^Ctop of the world, ^Gnow To the top ^Dof the world, Oooh ooohh ^{Em C}

I wished I'd had ^Gknown you, I wished I had sho^Dwn you All of the ^Emthings I was on the ^Cinside But I'd pretend to be ^Gsleeping When you'd come in in the ^Dmorning To whisper ^Emgoodbye and go work at the ^Crain I don't know ^Gwhy, Don't know ^Dwhy

Cause ^Ceveryone's singing we just ^Dwanna be heard Disap^Empearing every day, without so ^Cmuch as a word, Some^Ghow And I ^Cwanna grab a hold of that ^Dlittle songbird And ^Emtake her for a ride to the ^Ctop of the world Right ^Gnow, To the top of the ^Dworld

Who^Emaaaa ohhhh^Chhhhh To the top of the ^Emworld To the top of the ^Cworld To the top of the ^Emworld To the top of the ^Cworld To the top of the ^Emworld
