Intro:

C  D  C  D



Verse 1:
Em             D
I've been racing to nowhere
Em          D
Head down as fast as I can go
C            D
Soaring over the last shores
C              D
And all the sensible voices I ignore

Pre-Chorus:
Em         D
Now I got what I wanted
Em         D
But does it matter if I can't see the ground?
C         D
The more I try to grab and hold on
C          D      Am
The more everything just turns to clouds

Chorus:
            G  D
Straight ahead doesn't fly far
Am                  G
The next step you take might leave a scar
  D       Am
Or change who you are
       G    D
Icarus in the night stars
Am       C      D  G
Every mountain looks small from afar.
D  C  Em D

Verse 2:
Em          D
Don't you ever come near me
Em      D      C
I'm on a race into the sky
           D
Only hearts can see clearly
C            D
The essential's invisible to the eye


Pre-Chorus:
Em            D
The climb is taking me higher
Em            D
Unless I've always been traveling upside down
C             D
The world is turning my life over
C          D       Am
And time's moving faster than I can count

Chorus:
            G  D
Straight ahead doesn't fly far
Am                  G
The next step you take might leave a scar
  D       Am
Or change who you are
       G    D
Icarus in the night stars
Am       C         G  D
Every mountain looks small from afar


Bridge:
Am      G    D
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Am   Bm  C   D   G  D  Am
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)


Chorus:
            G  D
Straight ahead doesn't fly far
Am                  G
The next step you take might leave a scar
  D       Am
Or change who you are
       G    D
Icarus in the night stars
Am       C         G  D
Every mountain looks small from afar

Outro:
C       Bm     Em
Take me, with you.
        D          C
You don't need to walk this road alone
         Bm      Em D
Of suffering and sorrow
C       Bm        Em
Believe me, I'm with you.
            D      C
Until the light comes to call you home
    Bm      Em
To where I can't follow.
