♫ Verse 1:
G
I sneer at the sparrow singing at my window such a pretty little lucky thing
G
I sneer at the arrow of comparison that's buried in my chest
G                             Gm
Why did God forget to give me wings

     F         C                                                        Gm
Why, why, why, why was this restless little soul within me made to fly?
     F         C
Fly, fly, fly, fly

  Gm            F                 C
I long to glide across the rising sun
         Gm      F    C
My eyes on fire
Gm           F            C
I have tendencies to only want
               Gm        F    C
What I shouldn’t desire

G                           F
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to fly
G                                     F
Oh, to feel the sun's reflection in my eyes, as I rise
G7                     C
Oh they tell me to get rid of it
                   F
Cause risk is inconsiderate
F
Dear Icarus, you beautiful idiot

G
Father says men like me and him
G
Shouldn’t be caged in
G                         G*        F
So we will take the east wind and a map
F
To a place without a prison
F
A place where freedoms given
F                                                     G
Were we won't be in the kitchen dipping feathers into wax
       C                  F
And he straps angel wings to my back

       Gm             F                 C
Saying so long as you stay far from the sun
   C           Gm    C    F
My child, you’ll fly
Gm            F                  C
You have tendencies to want your fun
     C                 Gm     C     F
Your wild could be your demise

♫ Chorus: 
G                           F
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to fly
G                                     F
Oh, to feel the sun's reflection in my eyes, as I rise
Gm                     C
Oh, they tell me to get rid of it

Cause risk is inconsiderate

Dear Icarus, you beautiful idiot

But oh what I wouldn’t give to try
   Gm   C   F
To fly

♫ Outro:

Oh, I never could get rid of this
                     F
When heaven looks so limitless
F
I’m Icarus, a beautiful idiot

Gm                    C
Oh, my father you are missing this
                 F
Let it melt your bitterness
F
I’m Icarus, a beautiful idiot

Gm                    C
Oh, I cannot blame my ignorance
                       F
Ill blame the sun's deliverance
F
I’m Icarus, a beautiful idiot

Gm                   C
Oh, I’m sorry I’m indifferent
                    F
To death and it’s relentlessness
F
If Icarus must die
            C
He’ll die a beautiful
F
Idiot
