[Intro]
Am D Dm Am (x2)
Am D D Am (x4)
[Verse]
Am
Now the dirt is washed away
D
And all alibis are out
Am
And the hands that used to heal me only curse me now.
D
The echoes of a woman so kind
Am
Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my worried mind.
D
I lay there in the puddle of myself
Am
Fishing for a brand new wish from that bucket down the well.
D
And in her colours I find my faith,
Am
Cause I remember every word that lady used to say.
[Chorus]
E Dm
She said hearts can't break themselves
Am
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
E Dm
But souls can save themselves
Am G Am D
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
D Am
Be a long way home without you
It's such a long way home without you.
D D Am
Yeah, yeah.
[Verse]
Am
Miss my mother, like no other,
D
Made me human, made me brother
Am
Hands would swell and they would blister for my sake and my sisters
D
The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terra firma
Am
And then release me like a scion to the sky!
[Chorus]
E Dm
She said that hearts can't break themselves
Am
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
E Dm
But souls can save themselves
Am G Am D Am
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
Am D D Am
This heart can tell sometime
[Verse]
Am
Sister, you have some hungry eyes
D
Can bite back you're hypnotized
Smiling faces in disguise
Am
Can bite back you're hypnotized.
Keep going against the grain
D
And soon that's all, soon that's all you'll know
Am
And soon that's all you'll know
And let's get this straight
D
Sometimes you'll rise, and there's times you'll fall
After all, you're just blood and bones
Am
And you don't owe no one nothing
No, you don't owe no one
D
So don't live like one price is right,
Am
Cause there's some things in your life that you can fight!
[Chorus]
E Dm
She said that hearts can't break themselves
Am
Looking for something, wind up with nothing
E Dm
But souls can save themselves
Am G Am D
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
D Am
Of mine.
Am D D Am
[Outro]
E Dm
She said hearts can't break themselves
D
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
E Dm
But souls can save themselves
D
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E Dm
She said that souls can save themselves
Am D
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E Dm
Oh souls can save themselves
C
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E Dm
Oh momma, how I love you!
C
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E Dm
No momma, how I love you
Am G Am D D
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
Am
We're a long way home without you
Am D D Am
