As recorded by The Eli Young Band (From the 2024 Album PETTY COUNTRY: A COUNTRY MUSIC CELEBRATION OF TOM PETTY) [Intro] G F C Am G F C Am G [Verse 1]
        F       C   Am7 G
Well, I started out,

       F     C    Am7 G
Down a dirty road.

F       C   Am7 G
Started out,

F    C    Am7 G
All alone.
[Verse 2]
        F        C    Am7 G
And the sun went down,

     F           C    Am7 G
As I crossed the hill.

        F        C  Am7 G
And the town lit up,

    F         C     Am7 G
The world got still.
[Chorus]
    F           C   Am7 G
I'm learning to fly,

      F         C     Am7 G
But I ain't got wings.

F      C    Am7 G
Coming down,

       F       C     Am7 G
Is the hardest thing.
[Verse 3]
          F        C     Am7 G
Well the "Good old days"

    F     C    Am7 G
May not return.

        F           C    Am7 G
And the rocks might melt,

        F         C  Am7 G
And the sea may burn.
[Chorus]
    F           C     Am7         G
I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)

      F         C       Am7         G
But I ain't got wings. (learning to fly)

F      C      Am7         G
Coming down, (learning to fly)

       F       C       Am7         G
Is the hardest thing. (learning to fly)
[Guitar Solos] F C Am7 G F C Am7 G F C Am7 G F C Am7 G [Verse 4]
      F        C    Am7 G
Well, some say life,

     F         C   Am7 G
Will beat you down.

F          C     Am7 G
Break your heart,

F          C     Am7 G
Steal your crown.
[Verse 5]
     F       C   Am7 G
So I started out,

    F         C     Am7 G
For God knows where.

  F          C    Am7 G
I guess I'll know,

     F       C   Am7 G
When I get there.
[Chorus]
    F           C   Am7 G
I'm learning to fly,

 F         C      Am7 G
Around the clouds,

F         C  Am7 G
What goes up,    yeah

F         C    Am7 G
Must come down.

    F           C     Am7         G
I'm learning to fly, (learning to fly)

      F         C    Am7 G
But I ain't got wings.

F      C      Am7         G
Coming down, (learning to fly)

       F       C    Am7 G
Is the hardest thing.
