Intro and Verse 1:
Bm  G  A

Out of the corner 
Of my tired eyes, 
I'm not surprised
It's now a quarter past too late,
Nothing new,
it's no case out of the ordinary
I'm so very wrapped around your finger this time 
                      G          A
Oh, won't you give me awhile to unwind?


CHorus

Cadd9 D G Bm
You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool? 
You're on top of the world and if you're thinking 

I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules,
Cadd9 D
don't that make you the fool?
Bm G A
you're on top of the world


Verse 2

Bm  G  A

You're like a splinter
Just killing me slowly from inside
The piercing winter is so much
More inviting than the stare in your eyes
One heavy cinderblock, like a rock
You're just staying, weighing, breaking me down
G A
I'm crying out, you don't hear a sound

Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize

spirits, spark your smile
