[Verse 1]
A           D      A                    D
The hour is early,   the whole world is quiet. 
A           D                   A       D
A beautiful morning is about to ignite.
A             D       A                 D
I’m ready for danger,   I’m ready for a fight.
A             D                        A
I’m ready for something, to lift me up higher.


[Chorus 1]
D           E             F#m
Life’s been good I guess,     my ragged old heart’s been blessed.
D            E                   F#m
With so much more than meets the eye,
            D            E            F#m
I’ve got, a past I won’t soon forget,    You ain’t seen nothing yet,
D         E               A    D  A  D
I’m still learning how to fly.


[Verse 2]
A                         D     A                      D
It’s your dreams that die hard,   with these habits to brake.
A                       D                             A      D
You can’t let down your guard when there’s so much at stake.
A              D       A            D
I’m halfway to heaven,   halfway to hell,
A                  D                    A
But I might roll a seven, you never can tell.


[Chorus 2]
D           E               F#m    
Life’s been good it’s true,     when I’m feeling just like new.
D            E               F#m
The same old rules may not apply.
               D              E                  F#m
Well I’ve got, a past full of sticks and stones,     and a good feeling in my bones.
D              E               A
Well I’m still learning how to fly.


[Bridge]
A A E                      A A E 
      I want to go faster,       I don’t want to slow down.
A A D                                          E
      I don’t want to get off of this merry-go-round.
A A E                        A A E
      I want to be reckless,       I want to be vain.
A A D                                     E      A
      I want to make love like a run-away train.


[Chorus 3]
D           E                F#m
Life’s been good I’ve said,      I’m ten-thousand miles ahead.
D         E                 F#m
The day I rest is the day I die.
           D           E            F#m
I’ve got a past like a broken wing,     but you ain’t seen anything,
D         E               F#m
I’m still learning how to     fly.

[Outro]
D         E               A        D
I’m still learning how to fly-y-y.
