_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] First you fall, _ [G] then you fly, _ [Am] and you believe that you belong [F] up in the sky.
_ [C] Flap your arms _ [G] as you run.
_ _ [Am] Every revolution [F] brings you closer to the sun.
[C] You fall asleep in motion [G] in uncharted hemispheres.
[Am] And wake up with the stars [F] falling down around your ears.
[C] When they hit the ground, they're nothing [G] but stone.
_ _ [Am] _
That's how you learn [F] to live alone.
_ _ [C] _
[G] That's how you learn to [C] live [F] [C] alone.

_ Bit by bit, [D] [C] you [G] slip away.
You _ [Am] lose yourself in pieces [F] in the things you don't say.
[C] You're not here, _ [G] but you're still there.
_ _ [Am] The sun goes up, the sun goes [F] down, and you're not sure you care.
[C] You live inside the false [G] till you don't recognize the truth.
[Am] People send you pictures, [F] and you can't believe it's you.
[C] It's been years since your house has [G] felt like home.
_ _ [Am] _ That's how you learn to [F] live alone.

_ It [C] don't feel right, _ [G] but it's not wrong.
_ [Am] It's just hard to start again this far [F] along.
_ [C] Brick by brick, _ [G] they're letting go.
_ _ [Am] As you walk away from everything [F] you know.
_ _ [C] _ You release resistance, [G] laying into the wind.
[Am] Till the roof begins to crumble, [F] and the rain comes [C] pouring in.
And you sit there in the rubble, [G] till the rubble feels like home.
_ [Am] _ That's how you learn to [F] live alone.
[C] That's [G] how you learn [C] to live alone. _ _ _ _
