[Intro] A D A D [Verse 1]
A           D      A                    D
The hour is early,   the whole world is quiet. 

A           D                   A       D
A beautiful morning is about to ignite.

A             D       A                 D
I’m ready for danger,   I’m ready for a fight.

A             D                        A
I’m ready for something, to lift me up higher.
[Chorus 1]
D           E             F#m
Life’s been good I guess,     my ragged old heart’s been blessed.

D            E                   F#m
With so much more than meets the eye,

            D            E            F#m
I’ve got, a past I won’t soon forget,    You ain’t seen nothing yet,

D         E               A    D  A  D
I’m still learning how to fly.
[Verse 2]
A                         D     A                      D
It’s your dreams that die hard,   with these habits to brake.

A                       D                             A      D
You can’t let down your guard when there’s so much at stake.

A              D       A            D
I’m halfway to heaven,   halfway to hell,

A                  D                    A
But I might roll a seven, you never can tell.
[Chorus 2]
D           E               F#m    
Life’s been good it’s true,     when I’m feeling just like new.

D            E               F#m
The same old rules may not apply.

               D              E                  F#m
Well I’ve got, a past full of sticks and stones,     and a good feeling in my bones.

D              E               A
Well I’m still learning how to fly.
[Bridge]
A A E                      A A E 
      I want to go faster,       I don’t want to slow down.

A A D                                          E
      I don’t want to get off of this merry-go-round.

A A E                        A A E
      I want to be reckless,       I want to be vain.

A A D                                     E      A
      I want to make love like a run-away train.
[Chorus 3]
D           E                F#m
Life’s been good I’ve said,      I’m ten-thousand miles ahead.

D         E                 F#m
The day I rest is the day I die.

           D           E            F#m
I’ve got a past like a broken wing,     but you ain’t seen anything,

D         E               F#m
I’m still learning how to     fly.
[Outro]
D         E               A        D
I’m still learning how to fly-y-y.
