[Verse 1]
D A G D F#m Em A7 D
Such a feeling's coming over me, there is wonder in most everything I see
G A F#m B7
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
Em7 Em7-5 A7
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
D A G D F#m Em A7 D
Everything I want the world to be, is now coming true especially for me
G A F#m B7
And the reason is clear, it's because you are near
Em7 Em7-5 A A7
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
[Chorus]
D G
I'm on top of the world looking down on creation
D Em D D7
And the only explanation I can find
G A7 D G
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
D Em A7 D A7 D
Your love puts me at the top of the world
[Verse 2]
D A G D
Something in the wind has learned my name
F#m Em A7 D
And it's telling me that things are not the same
G A F#m B7
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
Em7 Em7-5 A7
There a pleasing sense of happiness for me
D A G D
There is only one wish on my mind
F#m Em A7 D
When this day is through I hope that I will find
G A F#m B7
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
Em7 Em7-5 A A7
All I need will be mine if you are here
[Chorus]

I'm on top of the world looking down on creation
