[Verse 1]

             
Well, I starte

          
d out,
            
down a dirty r

        
oad.
            
Started out,

   
          
all alone.

  


[Verse 2]

             
And the sun we

           
nt down,
             
as I crossed t

           
he hill.
             
And the town l

          
it up,
             
the world got 

        
still.


[Chorus]

             
I'm learning t

          
o fly,
             
but I ain't go

           
t wings.
           
Coming down,

   
             
is the hardest

          
 thing.


[Verse 3]

             
Well the "Good

             
 old days"
            
may not return

     
.
             
And the rocks 

              
might melt,
             
and the sea ma

          
y burn.


[Chorus]

             
I'm learning t

           
o fly, (learni

but I ain't go

           
t wings. (lear

        
ning to fly)
            
Coming down, (

is the hardest

           
 thing. (learn

Well, some say

         
 life,
             
will beat you

Break your hea
