Chords
This is an easy song to play, just listen to it to get the rhythm or play it however you
want around these chords! Pretty sure they're all correct :)
I think the chorus sounds better with a D/F# rather than just a D but either makes sense
and D is a little easier to play.
[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 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
[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 B7 Em 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 B7 Em 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
