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

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

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

 Am                             G
   I take it in but don’t look down.

Chorus:
   G                           F
     ’Cause I’m on top of the world, eh!
                        C
     I’m on top of the world, eh!
                                  G
     Been waiting on this for a while now,
                           Dm7
     Paying my dues to the dirt.
                            F
     I’ve been waiting to smile, eh!
                                C
     Been holding it in for a while, eh!
                         G
     Take you with me if I can.
                                    Dm7
     Been dreaming of this since a child.
                        C
     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

   C                           F
     ’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.

        F
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down,
         C
And it’s a long way up when you make your round.
     G                   Dm7
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:
   Dm7                         F
     ’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.
