Intro: A5 | Dadd9 | Esus4 | Bmadd9

A
If you love somebody,
D
Better tell them while they’re here, ’cause
E                           Bmadd9 E
They just may run away from you.

A
You’ll never know quite when; well,
D
Then again, it just depends on
E                           Bmadd9 E
How long a time is left for you.

A
I’ve had the highest mountains;
D
I’ve had the deepest rivers;
E                                   Bmadd9
You can have it all, but life keeps moving.

 F#m                           E
   I take it in but don’t look down.

Chorus:
   E                          D
     ’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
                       A
     I’m on top of the world, eh!
                                E
     Been waiting on this for a while now,
                           Bm7
     Paying my dues to the dirt.
                          D
     I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
                              A
     Been holding it in for a while, eh!
                         E
     Take you with me if I can.
                                   Bm7
     Been dreaming of this since a child.
                       A
     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: A | … | …

   A                          D
     ’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.

         D
   And I know it’s hard
   When you’re falling down,
              A
   And it’s a long way up
   When you make your round.
             E                   Bm7
   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:
   Bm7                        D
     ’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.
