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 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 disguiseAm
Can bite back you're hypnotized.
Keep going against the grainD
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
