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