[Verse]
Am Am7
Another day is washed away
E E7
And all alibis are out
D D7 Am Am7
And the hand that used to heal me only cursed me now.
Am Am7 E E7
The echoes of a woman so kind
D D7 Am Am7
Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my worried mind.
Am Am7 E E7
I lay there in the puddle of myself
D D7 Am Am7
Fishing from a brand new wish from that bucket down the well.
Am Am7 E E7
And in her colors I find my faith,
D D7 Am Am7
Cause I remember every word that lady used to say.
[Chorus]
E F
She said that hearts can't break themselves
D7 D7
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
E F
But souls can't save themselves
D7 D7 Am Am7
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
[Bridge]
E E7 D D7
Be a long home without you
Am Am7 Am Am7
It's just a long way home without you
E E7 D D7 Am Am7
Yeah, yeah!
[Verse]
Am Am7
That's my mother, like no other,
E E7
Made me human, made me brother
D D7 Am Am7
And it's swelling with blister for my sake and my sisters
Am Am7 E E7
The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terra firma
D D7 Am Am7
And then release me like a scient to the sky!
[Chorus]
E F
She said that hearts can't break themselves
D7 D7
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
E F
But souls can't save themselves
D7 D7
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
Am Am7 E E7 D D7 Am Am7 x2
[Verse]
Am Am7
Sister, you have some hungry eyes
E E7
And by back you're hypnotized
D D7
Smiling faces in disguise
Am Am7
By back you're hypnotized.
Am Am7
Keep going against the grain
E E7 D D7
And soon that's all, soon that's all you'll know
Am Am7
And soon that's all you'll know
N.C.
And let's get this straight
Am Am7 E E7
Sometimes you'll rise, and there's time you'll fall
D D7
After all, you're just blood and bones
Am Am7
And you don't owe no one, oh
Am Am7
No, you don't owe no one none
E E7
So don't live like one price is right,
D D7 Am Am7
Cause there is some things in your life that you can't fight!
[Chorus]
E F
She said that hearts can't break themselves
D7 D7
Looking for something, wind up with nothing
E Dm
But souls can't save themselves
D7 D7
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
Am Am7 E E7 D D7 Am Am7 x2
[Final Chorus]
E F
She said that hearts can't break themselves
D7 D7
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
E F
But souls can't save themselves
D7 D7
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E F
She said that souls can't save themselves
C D7
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E D7
Oh souls can't save themselves
C D7
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E D
Oh momma, how I love you!
C D7
Learning to fly, learning to fly
E D
No momma, how I love you
D7 D7
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
Am Am7 E E7
D D7 Am Am7
We're a long way home without you
Am Am7 E E7 D D7 Am Am7
