[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
And what will you have left?
C
Out on the front doorstep
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
Your hands protect the flames
         Em               D
From the wild winds around you

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Em           C       G               D
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
    Em            C         G            D
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
               Em C D
It's just begun

[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
Your hands protect the flames
         Em               D
From the wild winds around you

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Em           C       G               D
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
    Em            C         G            D
And Icarus's 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
You put up your defences when you leave
    B7                      Em      C                 D
You leave because you're certain of who you want to be
       C                                    D
You're putting up your armour when you leave
             B7                  Em      C                  D
And you leave  because you're certain of who you want to be, oh
