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 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.

Interlude: 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

Outro: Am D D Am
