Intro: G#5 | C#add9 | Ebsus4 | Bbmadd9

G#
If you love somebody,
C#
Better tell them while they’re here, ’cause
Eb                          Bbmadd9 Eb
They just may run away from you.

G#
You’ll never know quite when; well,
C#
Then again, it just depends on
Eb                          Bbmadd9 Eb
How long a time is left for you.

G#
I’ve had the highest mountains;
C#
I’ve had the deepest rivers;
Eb                                  Bbmadd9
You can have it all, but life keeps moving.

 Fm                            Eb
   I take it in but don’t look down.

Chorus:
   Eb                         C#
     ’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
                       G#
     I’m on top of the world, eh!
                                Eb
     Been waiting on this for a while now,
                           Bbm7
     Paying my dues to the dirt.
                          C#
     I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
                              G#
     Been holding it in for a while, eh!
                         Eb
     Take you with me if I can.
                                   Bbm7
     Been dreaming of this since a child.
                       G#
     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…

Instrumental: G# | … | …

   G#                         C#
     ’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.

         C#
   And I know it’s hard
   When you’re falling down,
              G#
   And it’s a long way up
   When you make your round.
             Eb                  Bbm7
   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:
   Bbm7                       C#
     ’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.
