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

Verse 1:
 
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 


Em C G D Icarus is flying to 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 2: 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
Em C G D Icarus is flying to 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
Em C G D Icarus is flying to 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 (2x)
