Intro:
Em         C       D
Ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh

Em         C       D
ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
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
Chorus:
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

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' 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
