Learning to fly

Tom Petty

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)
F C Am G x4

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.

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.

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.

G G
F C Am G
I'm learning to fly, (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.

F C Am G
I'm learning to fly, (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.

F C Am G
I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)
F C Am G
(learning to fly)

I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)
F C Am G
(learning to fly)
