Rodney Crowell - Still learning how to fly

^AThe hour is ^Dearly, ^A the whole world is ^Dquiet. ^AA beautiful ^Dmorning is about to ^Aignite. ^{D A}I’m ready for ^Ddanger, ^A I’m ready for a ^Dfight. ^AI’m ready for ^Dsomething, to lift me up ^Ahigher.

^DLife’s been ^Egood I guess, ^F#m my ragged old heart’s been blessed. ^DWith so much ^Emore than meets the ^F#meye, I’ve got, a ^Dpast I won’t ^Esoon forget, ^F#m You ain’t seen nothing yet, ^DI’m still ^Elearning how to ^Afly. ^{D A D}

^AIt’s your dreams that die ^Dhard, ^A with these habits to ^Dbrake. ^AYou can’t let down your ^Dguard when there’s so much at ^Astake. ^{D A}I’m halfway to ^Dheaven, ^A halfway to ^Dhell, ^ABut I might roll a ^Dseven, you never can ^Atell.

^DLife’s been ^Egood it’s true, ^F#m when I’m feeling just like new. ^DThe same old ^Erules may not ap^F#mply. Well I’ve got, ^Da past full of ^Esticks and stones, ^F#m and a good feeling in my bones. ^DWell I’m still ^Elearning how to ^Afly.

^{A A E} I want to go faster, ^{A A E} I don’t want to slow down. ^{A A D} I don’t want to get off of this merry-go-^Eround. ^{A A E} I want to be reckless, ^{A A E} I want to be vain. ^{A A D} I want to make love like a run-away ^Etrain. ^A

^DLife’s been ^Egood I’ve said, ^F#m I’m ten-thousand miles ahead. ^DThe day I ^Erest is the day I ^F#mdie. I’ve got a ^Dpast like a ^Ebroken wing, ^F#m but you ain’t seen anything, ^DI’m still ^Elearning how to ^F#m fly.

^DI’m still ^Elearning how to ^Afly-y-y. ^D
