  C                       F
Stop this runaway car I wanna get off,
I wanna go back
      Am                                   G 
if I left you there then I left it all behind...

    C                           F
Cuz all I'm feeling now is the weight of
the world, bearin' down,
  Am                                        G
I don't have answers to any of my questions anymore.

                        C
Cuz I might have been wrong,
                     G 
I might have been scared all along,
                    Am                    G
I might have been standing on top of the world.

Chorus:
                     C
What a difference a day makes,
              G 
I turn and watch you walk away,
                    Am                    G
I might have been standing on top of the world
                        C
Cuz I might have been wrong.

Tail lights and a seat on the right
In a losing fight into the night
Oh all the while, horses running down my veins

It's one word and the softest eyes
You say wait and I'll go hide
If you're still there then you're still all I want

'Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all alone
I might have been standing on the top of the world

Chorus

I might have been wrong
Might have been wrong
Might have been, might have been

Stop this runaway car
If we're not that gone then we're not that far
If I left you there then I've left it all behind

'Cause I might have been wrong
I might have been scared all alone
I might have been standing on the top of the world

Chorus

I might have been wrong, might have been wrong
Might have been, might have been
Might have been wrong
