You're on top of the world, you're on top of the world and you can't get any higher
F NC C -/B-/A-/G /E-/D-
You're on top of the world, you're on top of the world tonight
It wasn't easy it was hard as hell, you didn't get luck in a wishing well
Dm Bm-5 Bb
You never worked so hard had so much pain, wouldn't change for anything
Learned love from a movie screen, he was tough she was wild at fifteen

Hated school and had no dreams, wasn't going very far
Then he got religion and she got a God, it's on her back it's in his job
Dm F A-riff x4 Am
It costs lots of money, honey, oh no

You're on top of the world, you're on top of the world and you can't get any higher
F NC C -/B-/A-/G /E-/D-
You're on top of the world, you're on top of the world tonight
Breakdown nearly every day, should'a know you couldn't get away
Dm Bm-5 Bb
Got lucky with the girl next door, she was lonely and didn't care
She was young, she was dark, she was fair, wrapped herself around you with her stare
Dm Bm-5 Bb
You'd explode if she would touch you there, touch you there, touch you there
Then he got religion and she got a God, it's on her back it's in his job
Dm F A-riff x4
It costs lots of money, honey, oh no
Am NC D NC
Tonight,tonight, you're on top of the world, you're on top of the world and you can't get any higher
