[Verso 1]
 
G                        C          G 
What do you do when the sky falls apart? 
          Em                      C 
When the whole damn thing goes crumbling 
             G             D 
Strips your body for its parts? 
          Em                     C                G            Em 
When the Fates slip with their scissors, making liars out of stars 
                         C          G 
What do you do when the sky falls apart? 

C G Em 

G                   C                    G 
What do you say to make it through the night? 
     Em               C 
To remember how to breathe again 
           G                 D/F# 
When you fall from such a height? 
           Em            C 
Yeah, I'm going home to Nashville 
        G                Em 
Headed West on Kingston Pike 
             C                           G 
What do you say to make it through the night? 
 


[Refrão]
 
                C 
Oh, I tried my best 
          G              D/F# 
Guess it never came out right 
           Em            C 
Thats the thing about a flight risk 
               G               D/F# 
Yeah, she'll trade you for the sky 
           Em        C              G              D/F# 
And oh, my mind's a mess, too much for my crooked tongue 
             Em                 C                    G           Em       C   G 
Ill take my place there in her history, she'll take hers in all my songs 
 


[Verso 2]
 
G                        C          G 
How do you mend this tearing at the seams 
             Em              C              G         D 
Cause loving her is still in your bones and muscle memory 
         Em             C                  G                Em 
When you turn to her on instinct but she's just out of your reach 
                     C              G 
How do you mend this tearing at the seams?

               G               D 
Yeah, she'll trade you for the sky 
           Em        C              G              D/F# 
And oh, my mind's a mess, too much for my crooked tongue 
             Em                 C                    G            D

[Ponte]
 
          C                       B7 
And maybe all the promises I ever made 
             Em                              D 
Were nothing more than building up a gilded cage

          G              D/F#

           Em            C 
Thats the thing about a flight risk 
               G               D/F# 
Yeah, she'll trade you for the sky 
           Em        C              G              D/F#

             Em                 C                    G           Em       C   G 
Ill take my place there in her history, she'll take hers in all my songs 
 

Outro 
                         C             G 
So how do you learn the art of letting go? 
               Em               C                G            D 
When we spent days dreaming of futures that I'll never get to know 
        Em            C               G               Em 
I held promises like diamonds, didn't matter how they shone 
                        C              G 
So how do you learn the art of letting go?
