Verse 1: 0:16
          F     C  | Am G
Well, I started out,
        F     C  | Am G
Down a dirty road.
  F     C  | Am G
Started out
F     C  | Am G
All alone.

Verse 2: 0:32
         F        C  | Am G
And the sun went down
       F          C  | Am G
As I crossed the hill.

And the town lit up,
     F          C  | Am G
The world got still.

I'm learning to fly,

Coming down
        F        C  | Am G
Is the hardest thing.

Verse 3: 1:05
           F        C  | Am G
Well, the good old days
     F     C  | Am G
May not return,
         F           C  | Am G
And the rocks might melt,
         F       C  | Am G
And the sea may burn.

I'm learning to fly,

Coming down
  Am           G

        F        C
Is the hardest thing.

(Learning to fly.)

       F        C  | Am G
Well, some say life
      F        C  | Am G
Will beat you down,

And break your heart,
  F          C  |  Am G
Steal your crown.

Verse 5: 2:15
       F     C  | Am G
So I started out
     F          C  | Am G
For God knows where.

I guess I'll know
     F       C  | Am G
When I get there.

I'm learning to fly

Around the clouds.

Must come down.
