On Top of the World

If you love somebody, better tell them while they're here,

'cause they may just run away from you.

You'll never know quite when;

well, then again, it just depends on how long a time is left for you.

(Csus2)I've had the highest (F)mountains;

I've had the deepest rivers;

(G)you can have it all, but life keeps moving.

(Am)I take it in but don't look down.

'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.

I've tried to cut these corners,

tried to take the easy way out.

I kept on falling short of something.

(Csus2)I could have gave up then,

but (F)then again I couldn't have,

'cause (G)I've traveled all this way for something.

(Am)I take it in but don't look down.

'Cause I'm on top of the (Dm7)world,

I'm on top of the world.

(C)(Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, (Csus2)oh.)

'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.

And I know it's hard when you're falling down,

and it's a (C)long way up when you make your round.

But get up (G)now, get up,

get up (Dm7)now.
