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 litter easier to play.
Intro:
[Em]Ohhh oh oh [C]oh ohhh [D]ohhh
[Em]ohhh oh oh [C]oh ohhh [D]ohhh
Verse 1:
[C]Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
[Em]You'll drink yourself to [D]death
[C]Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
[Em]What will you have [D]left?
[C]Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
[Em]You won't remember [D]this
[C]Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears
[Em]You feel it in your [D]chest
Your ha[C]nds protect the f[Em]lames, from the w[G]ild winds around[D] you
Chorus:
[Em]Icarus is f[C]lying to c[G]lose to the s[D]un

It's just begun
[Em]ooh oh oh [C]oh ohh o[D]hh
Verse 2:
[C]Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace
[Em]It scares me half to dea[D]th
[C]Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing
[Em]So take another brea[D]th
Your h[C]ands protect the fl[Em]ames from the w[G]ild winds around y[D]ou

[Em]Icarus is f[C]lying tow[G]ards an early g[D]rave
Bridge:

[Em]You leave because you're ce[G]rtain
Of w[C]ho you want to [D]be
[C]You're putting up your armour when you le[D]ave
And you l[Em]eave because you're ce[G]rtain
Of w[C]ho you want to [D]be, ohhh
