                 E
I wished I was smarter
                 B
I wished I was stronger
                 Cm
I wished I loved Jesus
            A
The way my wife does
                    E
I wished itd been easier
                  B
Instead of any longer
                      Cm
I wished I could have stood
                          A
Where you would have been proud
                   E                     B
That won't happen now, that won't happen now

Chorus:
           A                                B
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
       Cm                        A
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word
     E (hold)
Somehow
A                                B
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
       Cm                   A                      E
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
            B
Top of the world

                 E
I don't have to answer
             B
Any of these questions
              Cm                 A
Don't have no god to teach me no lessons
                    E
I come home in the evening
       B
Sit in my chair
                            Cm
One night they called me for supper
                A
But I never got up
                E
I stayed right there
      B
In my chair

Chorus:
           A                                B
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
       Cm                        A
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word
     E 
Somehow
A                                B
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
       Cm                   A                      E (hold)
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now


               E
I wished Id a-known you
             B
Wished Id a-shown you
            Cm
All of the things
             A
I was on the inside
                   E
Id pretend to be sleeping
                          B
When youd come in in the morning
            Cm
To whisper goodbye
                   A
Go to work in the rain
              E
I don't know why
            B
Don't know why


Chorus:
       A
Cause everyone's singing
         B
We just wanna be heard
      Cm     
Disappearing everyday
            A
Without so much as a word
     E     
Somehow
A                         B
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Cm                        A
Take her for a ride to the top of the world
       E (hold)
Right now
