C       
If you love somebody
F
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
C                                  F
They may just run away from you


C
You’ll never know what went well
F
Then again it just depends on
C                               F
How long of time is left for you


C
I’ve had the highest mountains
F
I’ve had the deepest rivers
C                                       F
You can have it all but not til you prove it


C                                 G
Now take it in but don’t look down


                              F
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                      C
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                        G
Waiting on this for a while now
                         Dm
Paying my dues to the dirt
                        F
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
                            C
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
                         G
Take it with me if I can
                                 Dm
Been dreaming of this since a child
                    C
I’m on top of the world.


C
I’ve tried to cut these corners
F
Try to take the easy way out
C                             F
I kept on falling short of something


C
I coulda gave up then but
F
Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
C                               F
I’ve traveled all this way for something


C                               G
Now take it in but don’t look down

                        
                              F
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                      C
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                        G
Waiting on this for a while now
                         Dm
Paying my dues to the dirt
                        F
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
                            C
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
                         G
Take it with me if I can
                                 Dm
Been dreaming of this since a child
                    C
I’m on top of the world.


                              F
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                      C
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                        G
Waiting on this for a while now
                         Dm
Paying my dues to the dirt
                        F
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
                            C
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
                         G
Take it with me if I can
                                 Dm
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 hit the ground
G                       Dm
