[Intro]

F   C   Am   G   x4


[Verse 1]

        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]

        F        C     Am   G
And the sun went down,
     F           C     Am   G
as I crossed the hill.
        F        C    Am   G
And the town lit up,
    F         C     Am   G
the world got still.


[Chorus]

    F           C     Am   G
I'm learning to fly,
      F         C      Am   G
but I ain't got wings.
F      C     Am   G
Coming down,
       F       C      Am   G
is the hardest thing.


[Verse 3]

          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.


[Chorus]

    F           C     Am          G
I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)
      F         C       Am          G
but I ain't got wings. (learning to fly)
F      C      Am          G
Coming down, (learning to fly)
       F       C       Am          G
is the hardest thing. (learning to fly)

[Verse 4]

      F        C     Am   G
Well, some say life,
     F         C    Am   G
will beat you down.
F           C     Am   G
Break your heart,
F          C      Am   G
steal your crown.


[Verse 5]

     F       C    Am   G
So I started out,
    F         C     Am   G
for God knows where.
  F          C     Am   G
I guess I'll know,
     F       C     Am   G
when I get there.


[Chorus]

    F           C    Am   G
I'm learning to fly,
 F         C       Am   G
around the clouds,
F         C    Am          G
What goes up, (learning to fly)
F         C      Am   G
must come down.

but I ain't got wings.

Coming down,

is the hardest thing.
