[Verse]
Am Am7
Now the dirt 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 for 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 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
Hands would swell and they would 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 scion 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 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 nothin'
Am Am7
No, you don't owe no one
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 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 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 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
Be a long way home without you
Am Am7 E E7 D D7 Am Am7

Chords are very accurate! Lyrics are way off at points, but those are easy to find elsewhere

Verses don't include the E, bassline and guitar on the studio version are just riding back and forth between Am and D.
Chorus should start with an E7 instead of E.
