How You Learn To Live Alone

         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
Continues after the ad
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
