 G
Never gonna be on my own
       Bm
It's clear as the day
 C
Never gonna cast my anchor out

I'm a free spirit, torn in a way
G
I can't stay here for too long
  Bm
I got to keep on moving on
 C
Nothing fades as nothing changes
This old place is driving me crazy

Chorus:
G          D
Live on and dream on
        C
I'm on top of the world and
I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and
I won't look back
G          D
Live on and dream on
        C
I'm on top of the world and
I'm on the right track
        Am
I'm on top of the world and
I won't look back

I was living for the weekend
And the drinks are on me
Skipping school and cutting out
I wish this world would let me be
Trying to catch a feeling
Trying to find myself
We ran out into temptations
Cause this old place is driving me crazy

Chorus

   Am                Bm
I miss you when I'm gone
            C
I'm still playing the same old songs
 Am                   Bm
Dance like we used to do
         C
But I'm better without you
Better without you

Chorus

     G
The time to listen now
           D
I cast my anchor down
        C
I'm on top of the world and
I'm on the right track
I'm on top of the world and
I won't look back
     G
The time to listen now
           D
I cast my anchor down
        C
I'm on top of the world and
I'm on the right track
       Am
I'm on top of the world and
I won't look back
