[Intro]
F C Am G x4
[Verse]
F C Am G F C Am G
Well I started out, down a dirty road
F C Am G F C Am G
Started out all alone
F C Am G F C Am G
And the sun went down, as I crossed the hill
F C Am G F C Am G
As the town lit up, the world got still
[Chorus]
F C Am G F C Am G
I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings
F C Am G F C Am G
Coming down is the hardest thing
[Verse]
F C Am G F C Am G
Well the good ol’ days, may not return
F C Am G F C Am G
And the rocks may melt and the sea may burn
[Chorus]
F C Am G F C Am G
I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings
F C Am G F C Am G
Coming down is the hardest thing
(solo)
[Verse]
F C Am G F C Am G
Well some say life will beat you down,
F C Am G F C Am G
Break your heart, steal your crown
F C Am G F C Am G
So I started out, for god knows where
F C Am G F C Am G
I guess I’ll know when I get there
[Chorus]
F C Am G F C Am G
I’m learning to fly, around the clouds,
F C Am G F C Am G
But what goes up must come down
