[Verse]
F
Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
Am G
You'll drink yourself to death
F
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
Am G
What will you have left?
F
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
Am G
You won't remember this
F
Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears
Am G
You feel it in your chest
F Am C G
Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Am F C G
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
It's just begun
Am F G
ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh
[Verse 2]
F
Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace
Am G
It scares me half to death
F
Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing
Am G
So take another breath
F Am C G
Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Icarus is flying too close to the sun

Icarus' life, it has only just begun

Icarus is flying towards an early grave
[Bridge]
F G
Put up your defences when you leave
Am 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
Am C
And you leave because you're certain
F G
Of who you want to be, ohhh
[Chorus]
