On The Top of The World – Imagine Dragons
 
Capo 5
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
If you love somebody
C
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
G                                  C
They may just run away from you
 
G
You’ll never know what went well
C
Then again it just depends on
G                               C
How long of time is left for you
 
G
I’ve had the highest mountains
C
I’ve had the deepest rivers
G                                   C
You can have it all but life keeps moving
 
G                                 D
Now take it in but don’t look down
 
[Chorus]
                              C
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                      G
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                        D
Waiting on this for a while now
                         Am
Paying my dues to the dirt
 
                        C
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
                            G
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
                          D
Take you with me if I can
                                 Am
Been dreaming of this since a child
                    G
I’m on top of the world
 
[Verse 2]
G
I’ve tried to cut these corners
C
Try to take the easy way out
G                             C
I kept on falling short of something
 
G
I coulda gave up then but
C
Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
G                               C
I’ve traveled all this way for something
 
G                               D
Now take it in but don’t look down
 
[Chorus]
                              C
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                      G
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
                        D
Waiting on this for a while now
                         Am
Paying my dues to the dirt
 
                        C
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
                            G
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
                          D
Take you with me if I can
