Intro: B5 | Eadd9 | F#sus4 | C#madd9

B
If you love somebody,
E
Better tell them while they’re here, ’cause
F#                          C#madd9 F#
They just may run away from you.

B
You’ll never know quite when; well,
E
Then again, it just depends on
F#                          C#madd9 F#
How long a time is left for you.

B
I’ve had the highest mountains;
E
I’ve had the deepest rivers;
F#                                  C#madd9
You can have it all, but life keeps moving.

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

Chorus:
   F#                         E
     ’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
                       B
     I’m on top of the world, eh!
                                F#
     Been waiting on this for a while now,
                           C#m7
     Paying my dues to the dirt.
                          E
     I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
                              B
     Been holding it in for a while, eh!
                         F#
     Take you with me if I can.
                                   C#m7
     Been dreaming of this since a child.
                       B
     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: B | … | …

   B                          E
     ’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.

         E
   And I know it’s hard
   When you’re falling down,
              B
   And it’s a long way up
   When you make your round.
             F#                  C#m7
   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:
   C#m7                       E
     ’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.
