Learning To Fly (acoustic guitar) chords
Pink Floyd 1987 (A Momentary Lapse of Reason) *
G G Em
GInto the distance, a ribbon of black;
Em   D\ G  
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A Gflight of fancy on a windswept field;
Em   D\ G  
Standing alone my senses reel
A Gfatal attraction is holding me fast;
Em   D\ G  
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
CCan't keep my eyes from the Amcircling skies;
FTongue-tied and twisted,
Just an Cearth-bound Dmisfit, GI
G G Em
GIce is forming on the tips of my wings;
Em   D\ G  
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
GNo navigator to find my way home;
Em   D\ G  
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
A Csoul in tension that's Amlearning to fly;
FCondition grounded but Cdetermined to try
CCan't keep my eyes from the Amcircling skies;
FTongue-tied and twisted,
Just an Cearth-bound Dmisfit, GI
GAbove the planet on a wing and a prayer;
Em   D\ G  
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
GAcross the clouds I see my shadow fly;
Em   D\ G  
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A Gdream unthreatened by the morning light;
Em   D\ G  
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's Cno sensation to comAmpare with this;
FSuspended animation, a Cstate of bliss
CCan't keep my mind from the Amcircling sky;
FTongue-tied and twisted,
Just an Cearth-bound Dmisfit, GI
