Learning To Fly - Live Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[G]Into the distance a ribbon of black
[Em]Stretched to the point of no turning back[D]
[G]A flight of fancy on
a windswept field
[Em]Standing alone my senses reeled
[D]A f[G]atal attraction is holding
me fast how
[Em]How can I escape this irresistible [D]grasp?

[Verse 2]
[C]Can't keep my eyes from
[Am]the circling skies
[F]Tongue tied and twisted just an
[C]earth bound [D]misfit, I

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
[Em]Unheeded warnings I thought
I thought [D]of everything
[G]No navigator to find my way
[Em]home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
[D]A

[Verse 4]
[C]soul in tension that's lea[Am]rning to fly
[F]Condition grounded but
de[C]termined to try
Can't keep my eyes from
[Am]the circling skies
[F]Tongue- tied and twisted just an [C]earth- bound [D]misfit,
[Dm]I[F]
Friction lock, set Mixtures, rich

[Verse 5]
[F]Propellers,
fully forward
Flaps, set, ten degrees

[Verse 6]
Engine gauges and suction, check
[F]Mixture set to maximum
percent, recheck
Flight instruments
Altimeters, check both
Navigation lights, on
Strobes, on
Confirm three- eight- echo
[Dm]ready for departure[F]
Hello again, this is now 129.4
129.4, it's to go
You may commence your takeoff,
winds over ten knots
Three- eight- echo
Easy on the brakes,
[Am]take it easy, its gonna roll this time
Just hand the power gradually, and
it
[F][Em][G][Em][F][G]

[Verse 7]
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
[Em]My grubby halo, a vapor
trail in the empty air
[G]Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
[Em]Out of the corner of my watering eye
[G]A dream unthreatened
by the morning light
[Em]Could blow this soul right

[Verse 8]
through the roof of the night
[C]There's no sensation to
com[Am]pare with this
Sus[F]pended animation, a [C]state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from
[Am]the circling skies
[F]Tongue- tied and twisted [Dm]just an [F]earth- [C]bound [D]misfit,
