[Verse]
B
Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
D#m C#
You'll drink yourself to death
B
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
D#m C#
What will you have left?
B
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
D#m C#
You won't remember this
B
Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears
D#m C#
You feel it in your chest
B D#m F# C#
Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you
[Chorus]

Icarus is flying too close to the sun
D#m B F# C#
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
It's just begun
D#m B C#
ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh

Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace

So take another breath

Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you

Put up your defences when you leave

You're putting up your armour when you leave

And you leave because you're certain
B C#
Of who you want to be, ohhh
