G              D   Bm A
Well I started out 
G            D     Bm A
down a dirty road, 
G       D   Bm A
started out 
G     D     Bm A
all alone
G                D    Bm A
And the sun went down 
G                D    Bm A
as I crossed the hill
G                D    Bm A
And the town lit up 
G                 D   Bm A
and the world got still


[Chorus]

G               D   Bm A
I’m learning to fly 
G               D   Bm A
but I ain’t got wings.
G      D   Bm A
Coming down 
       G       D   Bm A
is the hardest thing


[Verse 2]

G                D    Bm A
Now the good old days 
G         D   Bm A
may not return, 
G                 D   Bm A
and the rocks may melt 
G               D     Bm A
and the sea may burn


[Chorus]
 
G               D   Bm A
I’m learning to fly 
G               D   Bm A
but I ain’t got wings.
G      D   Bm A
Coming down 
       G       D    Bm A
is the hardest thing

G D Bm A x4

[Verse 3]
G        D        Bm A
Some say life 
G             D   Bm A
will beat you down,
G          D      Bm A
break your heart, 
G          D      Bm A
steal your crown
G            D    Bm A
So I started out 
    G         D   Bm A
for god knows where 
G            D    Bm A
I guess I’ll know 
G          D      Bm A
when I get there


[Chorus]
G                D  Bm A
I’m learning to fly 
G          D        Bm A
around the clouds.
G         D         Bm A
What goes up 
G         D         Bm A
must come down.
G               D   Bm A
I’m learning to fly 
G               D   Bm A
but I ain’t got wings.
G      D            Bm A
Coming down 
       G       D    Bm A
is the hardest thing
