[D] [G] [D] [A] [D] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D]Such a feeling’s [A]coming [G]over [D]me, There is [F#m]wonder in most [Em]every[A]thing I [D]see. Not a [G]cloud in the [A]sky, got the [F#m]sun in my [B]eyes, And I [Em]won’t be surprised if it’s a [A]dream.

[D]Everything I [A]want the [G]world to [D]be, Is now [F#m]coming true [Em]especial[A]ly for [D]me, And the [G]reason is [A]clear, it’s [F#m]because you are [B]here. You’re the [Em]nearest thing to heaven that I’ve [A]seen.

I’m on [D]top of the world looking [G]down on creation. And the [D]only expla[Em]nation [A]I can [D]find. Is the [G]love that I’ve [A]found, ever [D]since you’ve been a[G]round. Your love’s [D]put me at the [Em]top [A]of the [D]world.

[D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D]Something in the [A]wind has [G]learned my [D]name, And it’s [F#m]telling me that [Em]things are [A]not the [D]same. In the [G]leaves on the [A]trees and the [F#m]touch of the [B]breeze, There’s a [Em]pleasing sense of happiness for [A]me.

[D]There is only [A]one wish [G]on my [D]mind, When this [F#m]day is through I [Em]hope that [A]I will [D]find. That to [G]morrow will [A]be just the [F#m]same for you and [B]me, All I [Em]need will be mine if you are [A]here.

I’m on [D]top of the world looking [G]down on creation. And the [D]only expla[Em]nation [A]I can [D]find. Is the [G]love that I’ve [A]found, ever [D]since you’ve been a[G]round. Your love’s [D]put me at the [Em]top [A]of the [D]world.
