Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
x2
Out of the corner
Of my tired eyes, I'm not surprised
That it's now a quarter past
Too late, nothing new, it's no case
Out of the ordinary
I'm so very wrapped around your finger this time
Oh, won't you give me awhile to unwind?
You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
You're on top of the world
You're sitting on top of the world
You're like a splinter
You're just killing me slowly from inside
The piercing winter is so much
More inviting than the stare in your eyes
One heavy cinderblock, like a rock
You're just staying, weighing, breaking me down
I'm crying out, you don't hear me, you don't hear a sound
You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
You're on top of the world
Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize
To put you up sky high, get your pride back to its familiar place
And I hope it's cost enough of my dear, precious time
To lift your spirits, spark your smile, oh
On top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
Well love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
On top of the world if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
On top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
On top of the world if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
Don't that make you the fool?
You're on top of the world
You're sitting on top of the world
You're on top of the world
You're on top of the world
