[Intro]

G D Bm A

[Verse 1]

G D Bm A

Well I started out

G D Bm A

down a dirty road,

G D Bm A

started out

G D Bm A

all alone

G D Bm A

And the sun went down

G D Bm A

as I crossed the hill

G D Bm A

And the town lit up

G D Bm A

and the world got still

[Chorus]

G D Bm A

I’m learning to fly

G D Bm A

but I ain’t got wings.

G D Bm A

Coming down

G D Bm A

is the hardest thing

[Verse 2]

G D Bm A

Now the good old days

G D Bm A

may not return,

G D Bm A

and the rocks may melt

G D Bm A

and the sea may burn

[Chorus]

G D Bm A

I’m learning to fly

G D Bm A

but I ain’t got wings.

G D Bm A

Coming down

G D Bm A

is the hardest thing

G D Bm A

[Verse 3]

G D Bm A

Some say life

G D Bm A

will beat you down,

G D Bm A

break your heart,

G D Bm A

steal your crown

G D Bm A

So I started out

G D Bm A

for god knows where

G D Bm A

I guess I’ll know

G D Bm A

when I get there

[Chorus]

G D Bm A

I’m learning to fly

G D Bm A

around the clouds.

G D Bm A

What goes up

G D Bm A

must come down.

G D Bm A

I’m learning to fly

G D Bm A

but I ain’t got wings.

G D Bm A

Coming down

G D Bm A

is the hardest thing
