Sitting on top of the world Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well it's [G]been a long day
but [F]i don't like to moan
It's the middle of summer and
[G]i'm chilled to the bone
There's holes in my shoes where
the [F]rain comes in
I'm sitting on top of the [G]world

[Verse 2]
[C]Walking in the shadows of
[F]empty office blocks
I was talking to a stranger and
[G]he's on the rocks
Down on the pavement
[F]living in a box
I'm sitting on top of the world
[G]

[Verse 3]
Oh no can't [F]anybody see
It's [C]been a bad day and
[F]i want a little [G]peace

[Verse 4]
Oh no won't you [F]please help me
[C]I want to lie down but there's
[F]no beds free
[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Down on the corner there's
[F]starry eyed preachers
Rattling cans and [G]pimping jesus
There's madmen on boxes
[F]makig speeches
I'm sitting on top of the [G]world

[Verse 6]
You can[C]'t sit in the sunshine or
[F]go out after dark
There's dogs on the loose
act[G]ing like sharks
There's psychos on the streets
[F]burning winos in the park
I'm sitting on top of the world
[G]

[Verse 7]
Oh no i [F]wish i was gone
[C]I want to get going befor[F]e too lon[G]g

[Verse 8]
Oh no [F]i want to leave town
[C]But i can't drive my car 'cause they [F]put it in the pound

[Verse 9]
[G]The masters of industry
[F]are killing for oil
There's poison in the air
the wa[G]ter and the soil
We're all turning mutant they're
[F]counting up their spoils
I'm sitting on top of the [G]world

[Verse 10]
[C]I turn on the tv and it [F]makes
me want to cry
There's killing and there's torture
there's de[G]struction and there's lies
And our [C]leaders talk rubbish and
[F]more people die
I'm sitting on top of the world
[G]

[Verse 11]
Oh no i [F]can't take anymore
[C]I'm shaking all over and my
[F]nerves are all raw

[Interlude 2]

[G]

[Verse 12]
Oh [F]no[C][F][G]
my [F]head's a little sore
[C]I want to get out but i can'[F]t find the door
