I wish I was smarter

The way my wife does

Instead of any longer

I wish I could have stood

Where you would have proud
D A
That won't happen now, that won't happen now
Chorus:
G A
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Bm G
Disappearing every day without so much as a word

Somehow
G A
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
Bm G D
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
A
Top of the world
D
I don't have to answer
A
Any of these questions
Bm G
Don't have no god to teach me no lessons
D
I come home in the evening
A
Sit in my chair
Bm
One night they called me for supper
G
But I never got up
D
I stayed right there
A
In my chair
Chorus

I wished I would have known you
A
Wished I would have shown you
Bm
All of the things
G
I was on the inside

I pretend to be sleeping
A
When you come in in the morning
Bm
To whisper goodbye
G
Go to work in the rain
D
I don't know why
A
Don't know why

Cause everybody's singing

We just want to be heard

Disappearing everyday

Without so much as a word

Some how

Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird

Take her for a ride to the top of the world

Right now
