Capo- 9th Fret 
 
 
I wished I was (G) smarter 
Wished I was (D) stronger 
I wished I (Em) loved jesus 
The way the my (C) wife does 
 
I wished it'd been (G) easier 
Instead of any (D) longer 
I wished I could've (Em) stood 
Where you would've been (C) proud 
That won't happen (G) now 
That won't happen (D) now 
There's a whole lot of (C) singing 
That ain't (D) gonna be heard 
Disap(Em)pearing every day 
Without so (C) much as a word 
Somehow (G) 
 
I think I (C) broke the wings 
Off a little (D) songbird 
And she's never (Em) gonna fly 
To the top of the (C) world 
How (G) 
To the top of the (D) world 
I don't have to (G) answer 
Any of these (D) questions 
Don't have no (Em) guide to 
Teach me no (C) lessons 
 
I come home in the (G) evening 
Sit in my (D) chair 
One night they called me for (Em) supper 
But I never got (C) up 
I stayed right (G) there 
In my (D) chair 
 
There's a whole lot! of (C) singing 
That ain't (D) gonna be heard 
Disap(Em)pearing every day 
Without so (C) much as a word 
Somehow (G) 
 
I think I (C) broke the wings 
Off a little (D) songbird 
And she's never (Em) gonna fly 
To the top of the (C) world 
How (G) 
To the top of the (D) world  (Em)  (C) 
 
I wished I'd had (G) known you 
Wished I had (D) shown you 
All of the (Em) things I 
Was on the (C) inside 
 
But I'd pretend to be (G) sleeping 
When you'd come in in the (D) morning 
To whisper (Em) goodbye 
Go work at the (C) rain 
I don't know (G) why 
Don't know (D) why 
 
Cause (C) everyone's singing 
We just wanna (D) be heard 
Disap(Em)pearing every day 
Without so (C) much as a word 
So how? (G) 
 
Gonna (C) grab a hold 
Of that little (D) songbird 
And take her (Em) for a ride 
To the top of the (C) world 
Right (G) now 
To the top of the (D) worldÊ
