A E
First you fall and then you fly
F#m E D
And you believe that you belong up in the sky
A E
Flap your arms as you run
F#m E D
Every revolution brings you closer to the sun
A E
You fall asleep in motion and uncharted hemispheres,
F#m E D
then you wake up with the stars falling down around your ears
E
And when they hit the ground they're nothing but stones
F#m E D
That's how you learn to live alone
F#m E A
That's how you learn to live alone
A E
Bit by bit, you slip away
F#m E
You lose yourself in pieces
D
in the things that you don't say
A E
You're not here, but you're still there
F#m E
The sun goes up the sun goes down
D
but you're not sure you care.
A E
You live inside the faults til you don't recognise the truth
F#m E D
People send you pictures and you can't believe it's you
A E
And it's been years since your house has felt like home
F#m E D
That's how you learn to live alone
F#m E A
That's how you learn to live alone
A E
It don't feel right, but it's not wrong
F#m E D
It's just hard to start again this far along
A E
And brick by brick you let it go
F#m E D
as you walk from everything you know.
A E
You the least resistance, and you lean into the wind
F#m E D
til the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pouring in
A E
And you sit there in the rubble til the rubble feels like home
F#m E D
That's how you learn to live alone
F#m E A
That's how you learn to live alone
