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