I wished I was smarter

The way my wife does

Instead of any longer

I wished I could have stood

Where you would have been proud

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

Disappearing everyday without so much as a word

She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now

I wished Id a-known you

All of the things

A

I was on the inside

E

Id pretend to be sleeping

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

We just wanna be heard

Cm

Disappearing everyday

A

Without so much as a word

Somehow

Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird

Take her for a ride to the top of the world

Right now
