F, C, Am, G throughout
 
[Verse 1]

Well I started out
down a dirty road
Started out
all alone


[Verse 2]

And the sun went down
as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up
the world got still


[Chorus 1]

I'm learning to fly
but I ain't got wings
Coming down
is the hardest thing


[Verse 3]

Well the good old days
may not return
And the rocks might melt
and the sea may burn


[Chorus 1]

I'm learning to fly
but I ain't got wings
Coming down
is the hardest thing


[Solo]


[Verse 4]

Well some say life
will beat you down
Break your heart
steal your crown


[Verse 5]

So I started out
for God knows where
I guess I'll know
when I get there


[Chorus 2]

I'm learning to fly
around the clouds
What goes up
must come down


[Bridge]


[Last Chorus]

I'm learning to fly
but I ain't got wings
Coming down
is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds
What goes up
must come down
I'm learning to fly
I'm learning to fly
