Intro
Dm A# C
Ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Dm A# C
ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
[Verse]
A#
Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
Dm C
You'll drink yourself to death
A#
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
Dm C
What will you have left?
A#
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
Dm C
You won't remember this
A#
Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears
Dm C
You feel it in your chest
A# Dm F C
Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you
[Chorus]
Dm A# F C
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Dm A# F C
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
It's just begun
Dm A# C
ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh
[Verse 2]
A#
Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace
Dm C
It scares me half to death
A#
Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing
Dm C
So take another breath
A# Dm F C
Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you
[Chorus]
Dm A# F C
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Dm A# F C
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
Dm A# F C
This is how it feels to take a fall
Dm A# F C
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
[Bridge]
A# C
Put up your defences when you leave
Dm F
You leave because you're certain
A# C
Of who you want to be
A# C
You're putting up your armour when you leave
Dm F
And you leave because you're certain
A# C
Of who you want to be, ohhh
[Chorus]
Dm A# F C
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Dm A# F C
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
Dm A# F C
This is how it feels to take a fall
Dm A# F C
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
Dm A# C
oohh oh oh ohh ohhh
Dm A# C
oohh oh oh ohh ohhh
