[Verse]
D
Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
F#m E
You'll drink yourself to death
D
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
F#m E
What will you have left?
D
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
F#m E
You won't remember this
D
Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears
F#m E
You feel it in your chest
D F#m A E
Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
F#m D A E
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
It's just begun
F#m D E
ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh
[Verse 2]
D
Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace
F#m E
It scares me half to death

Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing
F#m E
So take another breath
D F#m A E
Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you
[Chorus]

Put up your defences when you leave
F#m A
You leave because you're certain
D E
Of who you want to be

You're putting up your armour when you leave
F#m A
And you leave because you're certain
D E
Of who you want to be, ohhh
[Chorus]
