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.
