Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Learning To Fly  (Album: Into the Great Wide Open (1991))

[ D    | A    | F#m    | E   ]        (repeat Chords for song)

Well it started out, Down a dirty road.
Started out, All alone.

And the sun went down, As I crossed the hill.
And the town lit up, And the world got still.

C:   I’m learnin’ to fly, But I ain’t got wings.
       Comin’ down, Is the hardest thing.

Well the good ol’ days, May not return.
And the rocks might melt, And the sea may burn.

[chorus]

Well some say life, Will beat you down,
And break your heart, Steal your crown.

So it started out, For God-knows-where.
I guess I’ll know, When I get there.

I’m learning to fly, Around the clouds.
What goes up,  Must come down.

I’m learnin to fly, But I ain’t got wings.
Comin’ down, Is the hardest thing.

I’m learnin’ to fly, Around the clouds.
But what goes up, Must come down.

I’m learnin’ to fly. I’m learnin’ to fly.
