Intro:
[Riff A] X2
Note: last bit of intro goes into first lines of lyrics
Verse:
[Riff A] x7
[last time play]
I remember the nights
Caught up in dreaming my goodbyes
Watching the door for anything more than an ordinary life
I remember the days
New beginnings on an open page
With something to prove and nothing to lose, not a soul to betray
Pre-chorus:
[Ab]Here I a[Eb]m
[Ab]Living a dream a [Db]dream that I can't hol[Ab]d
Here I [Eb]am on my o[Db]wn
Chorus:
On top of the [Ab]world,
On top of it [Eb]all,
Trying to [Ab]feel invicibl[Db]e,
Ab Eb Db Ab (slide down the last Ab)
Yeahhhohhh Yeahhhhoh
I'm dying on top of the world
[Riff A] x2 - before verse 2
Verse 2 (Same as Verse 1):
[Riff A] x3
[last time play]
I remember the lies
Caught up in building 'paradise'
The angels were slaves and demons behaved
And everything was alright
Pre-chorus:
[Ab]Here I a[Eb]m
[Ab]Living a dream a [Db]dream that I can't hol[Ab]d
Here I [Eb]am on my o[Db]wn
Chorus:
On top of the [Ab]world,
On top of it [Eb]all,
Trying to [Ab]feel invicibl[Db]e,
Ab Eb Db Ab (slide down the last Ab)
Yeahhhohhh Yeahhhhoh
I'm dying on top of the world
Bridge (Part 1):
Bridge (Part 2):
I hear the crowds beneath me
I'm wishing they could reach me
But I'm on top of the world
Up here I'm dying alone
Bridge (Part 3):
Ab - this part is just one chord in rhythm
Inside the walls of gold, outside of happiness
It's all been a show, too late to confess
No room for heart and soul, no room for innocence (innocence)
Chorus:
(First time hold out the chords)
On top of the [Ab]world,
On top of it [Eb]all,
Trying to [Ab]feel invicibl[Db]e,
Ab Eb Db Ab (slide down the last Ab)
Yeahhhohhh Yeahhhhoh
On top of the [Ab]world,
On top of it [Eb]all,
Trying to [Ab]feel invicibl[Db]e,
Ab Eb Db Ab (slide down the last Ab)
Yeahhhohhh Yeahhhhoh
On top of the [Ab]world,
On top of it [Eb]all,
Trying to [Ab]feel invicibl[Db]e,
Ab Eb Db Ab (slide down the last Ab)
Yeahhhohhh Yeahhhhoh
I'm dying on top of the world
