[Verse]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Well I started out
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Down a dirty road
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Started out
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
All alone

[Verse]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
And the sun went down
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
As I crossed the hill
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
And the town lit up
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
And the world got still

[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly,
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I ain't got wings
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Coming down
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Is the hardest thing

[Verse]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Now the good ol' days
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
May not return
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Yes and the rocks might melt
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
And the sea may burn

[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I ain't got wings
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Coming down (learning to fly)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Is the hardest thing

Well some say life
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Will beat you down
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
And break your heart,
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Steal your crown

[Verse]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
So I've started out,
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
For God knows where
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I guess I'll know
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
When I get there

[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I ain't got wings

Coming down (learning to fly)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Is the hardest thing (learning to fly)

[Chorus (N.C.)]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I ain't got wings
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Coming down
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Is the hardest thing

Chorus: (N.C.)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly, (Yeah I'm learning to fly)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I ain't got wings (Over my trouble)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Coming down (Over my worries)

Is the hardest thing (Oh yes it, yes it is)

Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly, (One day I'll learn to fly)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I ain't got wings (And I'll fly over my worries)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Coming down (I'll fly over my troubles)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Is the hardest thing (Oh yes it, yes it is)

[Chorus (N.C.)]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly,
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
But I ain't got wings (Singing it out babe)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Coming down (You know)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
Is the hardest thing (One day, one day I'm gonna rise up and)

[Chorus (N.C.)]
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
I'm learning to fly, (Fly over my worries)
Fmaj7 C Am G Gsus4 G
