learning to fly chords
tom petty *

F C Am/G F C Am/G
well i started out down a dirty road
F C Am/G F C Am/G
started out all alone
F C Am/G F C Am/G
and the sun went down as i crossed the hill
F C Am/G F C Am/G
and the town lit up , the world got still

F C Am/G F C Am/G
i’m learning to fly , but i ain’t got wings
F C Am/G F C Am/G
coming down is the hardest thing

F C Am/G F C Am/G
well the good ol’ days may not return
F C Am/G F C Am/G
and the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

F C Am/G F C Am/G
i’m learning to fly , but i ain’t got wings
F C Am/G F C Am/G
coming down is the hardest thing

F C Am/G F C Am/G
well some say life will beat you down
F C Am/G F C Am/G
break your heart , steal your crown
F C Am/G F C Am/G
so i’ve started out , for god knows where
F C Am/G F C Am/G
i guess i’ll know when i get there

F C Am/G F C Am/G
i’m learning to fly , around the clouds ,
F C Am/G F C Am/G
but what goes up must come down

F C Am/G F C Am/G
i’m learning to fly , but i ain’t got wings
F C Am/G F C Am/G
coming down is the hardest thing

F C Am/G F C Am/G
i’m learning to fly , around the clouds ,
F C Am/G F C Am/G
but what goes up must come down
