Verse 1

B You've got your eyes closed, such a temper F# Been so long that you can't remember G#min E How it started, how they took you down B You got your wings out, now they're laughing F# You're the food at the feast they are having G#min E And you know running away doesn't prove them wrong

Pre-Chorus 1

E But have you tried apologising? F# Do you know the mess you've made? E You believe you hold the answers F# But your feathers are all frayed

Chorus

B Oh well, Icarus, Icarus F# Why you so serious, serious? G#min You know you've gotta let it go E Cause you're flying too close

Verse 2

B There in your ego lies your weakness F# Wrap it tightly and keep it at your chest G#min E You are only the front that you harness

Pre-Chorus 2

E Your silence is so underrated F# The voices are a loaded gun E You'll be swallowed up by the sun F# Cause you're trying to be someone

Chorus

B Oh well, Icarus, Icarus F# Why you so serious, serious? G#min You know you've gotta let it go E Cause you're flying too close B Oh well, Icarus, Icarus F# You're being so dangerous, dangerous G#min You know the higher you fly E The less you can hide

Bridge

E Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh F# Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh E Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh F# Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh E Cause they're all waiting in the ocean F# With open arms to drag you down E So have you tried apologising F# Before you start to drown?

Chorus
