Intro:
Em Em C C D D
Ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Em Em C C D D
ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh

Verse 1:
C C
Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
Em Em D D
You'll drink yourself to death
C C
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
Em Em D D
What will you have left?
C C
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
Em Em D D
You won't remember this
C C
Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears
Em Em D D
You feel it in your chest

C C Em Em G G D D
Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you


Chorus:
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus' life, it has only just begun

It's just begun

Em Em C C D D
ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh

Verse 2:
C C
Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace
Em Em D D
It scares me half to death
C C
Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing
Em Em D D
So take another breath

C C Em Em G G D D
Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you


Chorus:
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
Em Em C C G G D D
This is how it feels to take a fall
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus is flying towards an early grave


Bridge:
C C D D
Put up your defenses when you leave
Em Em G G
You leave because you're certain
C C D D
Of who you want to be
C C D D
You're putting up your armor when you leave
Em Em G G
And you leave because you're certain
C C D D
Of who you want to be, ohhh


Chorus:
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
Em Em C C G G D D
This is how it feels to take a fall
Em Em C C G G D D
Icarus is flying towards an early grave

Em Em C C D D
oohh oh oh ohh ohhh
