C majorC
A minorAm

Verse 1:
C majorC
I don't want to be rude
            A minorAm
'cause I don't think it solves anything
C majorC
But your actin' like a fool
               A minorAm
and your tuggin', and your tuggin' on their heartstrings
   C majorC
You remind me of a boy who had my heart for a minute
A minorAm
before he went and fucked it up, pushed me to the limits
E minorEm    D MajorD
I recall, how he looked so small

Pre-Chorus:
          C majorC
 In the lamplight, curled up in a ball with his eyes tied shut
A minorAm
He told me he was cold, I felt it in my gut
    E minorEm           D MajorD
He's a sad song, and you're a strange one

C majorC
But now your actin' like you've won the lottery
A minorAm
Behaving like a dick with no apologies
   E minorEm
The tarp beneath your rips and tares
   D MajorD
You flex and pose unaware


Chorus:
C majorC               E minorEm
But I can't stay to watch you fall
   D MajorD       C majorC
Icarus I still recall
                     E minorEm
The look in his eyes as the waves rose up
          D MajorD          C majorC
He reached for my hands as he sunk and sunk
               E minorEm
And all around the landscape grows
    D MajorD     C majorC
Its a beauty I suppose
             E minorEm      D MajorD
But Icarus is drowning, Icarus is drowning
      C majorC
Don't you know?

Verse 2:
                    A minorAm
Don't mean to be cold, but I've got a heart to protect
C majorC                   A minorAm
I watch your story unfold and keep my warnings in check
   C majorC
You remind me of a boy who all it all for a minute,
A minorAm
Slipped off of his pedestal, toppled off, never made the finish
E minorEm     D MajorD
I recall, how he stood so tall


Pre-chorus:
          C majorC
In the sunlight, puffing out his chest, with his eyes too bright
A minorAm
Lips brushing my neck leaving scorched marked bites
    E minorEm           D MajorD
He's a sad song, and you're a strange one


Chorus:
C majorC               E minorEm
But I can't stay to watch you fall
   D MajorD       C majorC
Icarus I still recall
                     E minorEm
The look in his eyes as the waves rose up
          D MajorD          C majorC
He reached for my hands as he sunk and sunk
               E minorEm
And all around the landscape grows
    D MajorD     C majorC
Its a beauty I suppose
             E minorEm      D MajorD
But Icarus is drowning, Icarus is drowning
      C majorC   E minorEm D MajorD
Don't you know?
C majorC
Don't you know?

C majorC               E minorEm
But I can't stay to watch you fall
   D MajorD       C majorC
Icarus I still recall
                     E minorEm
The look in his eyes as the waves rose up
          D MajorD          C majorC
He reached for my hands as he sunk and sunk
               E minorEm
And all around the landscape grows
    D MajorD     C majorC
Its a beauty I suppose
             E minorEm      D MajorD
But Icarus is drowning, Icarus is drowning
      C majorC   E minorEm D MajorD
Don't you know?
    E minorEm  D MajorD
That Icarus is drowning
      C majorC
Don't you know?
