Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly   (Album: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987))

[ G - - - | Em - - D ]   (repeat Chords for verse)

 Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reel

A fatal attraction is holding me fast

How can I escape this irresistible grasp

{Refrain}

/ C - Am - / F - C, D, G  - /

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted, Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to find my way home

Unladen, empty and turned to stone

/ C - Am - / F - C - /

A soul in tension that's learning to fly (my whole intention)

Condition grounded but determined to try

{Refrain}

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer

My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

/ C - Am - / F - C - /

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, a state of bliss

{Refrain}
