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,
      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 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 start it 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,
F         C      Am    G
Must come down.

F      C     Am   G
coming down,

is the hardest thing.
