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