Intro G D Bm A
verse 1
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
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
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 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
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
