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 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:
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 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

Chorus:
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
