Intro: C5 | Fadd9 | Gsus4 | Dmadd9
C
If you love somebody,
F
Better tell them while they’re here, ’cause
G Dmadd9 G
They just may run away from you.
C
You’ll never know quite when; well,
F
Then again, it just depends on
G Dmadd9 G
How long a time is left for you.
C
I’ve had the highest mountains;
F
I’ve had the deepest rivers;
G Dmadd9
You can have it all, but life keeps moving.
Am G
I take it in but don’t look down.
Chorus:
G F
’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
C
I’m on top of the world, eh!
G
Been waiting on this for a while now,
Dm7
Paying my dues to the dirt.
F
I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
C
Been holding it in for a while, eh!
G
Take you with me if I can.
Dm7
Been dreaming of this since a child.
C
I’m on top of the world.
I’ve tried to cut these corners,
Tried to take the easy way out.
I kept on falling short of something.
I could have gave up then, but
Then again I couldn’t have, ’cause
I’ve traveled all this way for something.
I take it in but don’t look down.
Chorus:
’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
I’m on top of the world, eh!
Been waiting on this for a while now,
Paying my dues to the dirt.
I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
Been holding it in for a while, eh!
Take you with me if I can.
Been dreaming of this since a child.
I’m on top of the world. Oh…

C F
’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
I’m on top of the world, eh!
Been waiting on this for a while now,
Paying my dues to the dirt.
I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
Been holding it in for a while, eh!
Take you with me if I can.
Been dreaming of this since a child.
F
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down,
C
And it’s a long way up when you make your round.
G Dm7
But get up now, get up, get up now.
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down,
And it’s a long way up when you make your round.
But get up now, get up, get up now.
Chorus:
Dm7 F
’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
I’m on top of the world, eh!
Been waiting on this for a while now,
Paying my dues to the dirt.
I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
Been holding it in for a while, eh!
Take you with me if I can.
Been dreaming of this since a child.
I’m on top of the world.
