G                               Em7     C 
    I probably held him up too high 
G                         Em7       C 
    Higher than a man was meant to fly 
G                                Em7     C 
    I thought he'd always be the rock 
G                            Em7     C 
    That all died the day my daddy walked 
G                            Em7 
    And time still holds the pain 
        C                G    D 
    But I won't lose my faith. 
 

 
N.C.            C        G 
It's been a -- long way down 
     D             Em 
I'm slowly letting go and so I'm 
C        G       D              Em 
Stronger now -- somewhere in my soul I know I'm 
C        G          D               Em              Bb 
Running scared -- trying to get to where I'm going 
            C        G   Bb            C           G    Em7   C 
But I don't worry at all -- I'm still learning to fall. 
 

 
G                             Em7     C 
    Back then I was just nineteen 
G                                Em7       C 
    Evening drive took my best friend from me 
G                                   Em7     C 
    The warmth of summer turned so cold 
G                             Em7     C 
    And I will never see his life unfold 
G                             Em7 
    And time still drives the pain 
        C                G    D 
    But I won't lose my faith.

N.C. C        G          D               Em              Bb 
     Running scared -- trying to get to where I'm going

    Em        D           C      G 
The weight I carry I hold on my own 
Em         D             C    G 
I may be broken but I'm not alone 
Em              D             C       G     Bb 
I don't want to walk again before I crawl

I'm still learning to fall. 
              G     Em7   C
