Difficulty: Novice


Verse 1:
G
You've got your eyes closed, such a temper
Em
Been so long that you can't remember
Am                                D
How it started, how they took you down
G
You got your wings up, now they're laughing
Em
You're the food at the feast that that they are having
Am                                           D
And you know running away doesn't prove them wrong

Pre-Chorus 1:
C
Well have you tried apologizing?
Em
Do you know the mess you've made?
Am
You believe you hold the answers
D
But your feathers are all frayed

Chorus:
         G
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
           Cadd9
Why you so serious, serious?
                             C
You know you've gotta let it go
                        D
Cause you're flying too close

Verse 2:
G
There in your ego lies your weakness
Em
Wrap it tightly and keep it at your chest
Am                              D
You are only the front that you harness

Pre-Chorus 2:
C
Cause silence is so underrated
Em
Their voices are a loaded gun
Am
You'll be swallowed up by the sun
D
Cause you're trying to be someone

Chorus:
         G
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
           Cadd9
Why you so serious, serious?
                             C
You know you've gotta let it go
                        D
Cause you're flying too close
         G
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
                Cadd9
You're being so dangerous, dangerous
                        C
You know the higher you fly
                 D
The less you can hide

Bridge:
C
Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
D
Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
C
Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
D
Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Pre-Chorus 3:
C
Cause they're all waiting in the ocean
Em
With open arms to drag you down
Am
So have you tried apologizing
D
Before you start to drown?

Chorus:
         G
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
           Cadd9
Why you so serious, serious?
                             C
You know you've gotta let it go
                        D
Cause you're flying too close
         G
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus
                Cadd9
You're being so dangerous, dangerous
                        C
You know the higher you fly
                 D
The less you can hide
