[Verse 1]
[C]If you love somebody, [F]better tell them while they�re here cause
[G]They just may run away from [Dm]you
[C]You'll never know what went well, [F]then again it just depends on

[First Chorus]
Cause I'm on top of the [F]world, ay
I'm on top of the [C]world, ay
Waiting on this for a [G]while now
Paying my dues to the [Dm]dirt
I've been waiting to [F]smile, ay
Been holding it in for a [C]while, ay
Take you with me if [G]I can
Been dreaming of this since a [Dm]child
I'm on top of the [C]world[F].[C]
[Verse 2]
[C]I've tried to cut these corners, [F]tried to take the easy way out
[G]I kept on falling short of [Dm]something
[C]I could've gave up then but, [F]then again I couldn't have cause
[G]I've traveled all this way for [Dm]something
[Am]Now take it in but don't look [G]down
