C    C C  C |   C  C   F F |C C C C | C C F F |
Such a feelin's comin' over me
C     C  C  C | C  C   F      F|C C C C | C C C C |
There is wonder in the things I see
      F            
Not a cloud in the sky
        Em       
Got the sun in my eyes
      Dm           F               G
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream


C    C     C C |  C   C    F F|C C C C | C C F F |
Everything I want the world to be
C  C  C   C |  Dm Dm  Dm  Dm| C C C C | C C C C |
Is coming true especially for me
        F            
And the reason is clear
       Em       
It's because you are here
           Dm               F                G
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen


           C                        C
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
        C         F            C
And the only explanation I can find
       C              Dm         Em                F
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
C           G      N.C.      
Your love's put me on the

C   C     C  C | C    C  F     F    |C C C C | C C F F |
Something in the wind has learned my name
C   C   C  C |  C     C   F F     |C C C C | C C C C |
telling me that things are not the same
       F            
In the leaves on the trees
        Em       
and the touch of the breeze
          Dm                F             G
There's a pleasant sense of happiness for me


C     C  C C |C   C    F F | C C C C | C C F F |
There is only one wish on my mind
C    C    C   C |Dm      Dm Dm  Dm  |C C C C | C C C C |
When this day is through I hope I'll find
       F            
That tomorrow will be
    Em       
the same for you and me
      Dm           F               G
All I need will be mine if you are here

           C                        C
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
        C         F            C
And the only explanation I can find
       C              Dm         Em                F
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
C           G      N.C.      
Your love's put me on the

On Top, top of the world.
Top of the world
I'm top now. I'm on the top now. Yeh
Top of the world
I'm top top top top top
Top of the world
