Intro:
Em         C       D
Ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Em         C       D
ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
 
Verse 1:
C
Look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say
Em                       D
You'll drink yourself to death
C
Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it
Em                 D
What will you have left?
C
Out on the front door step, drinking from a paper cup
Em                 D
You won't remember this
C
Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears
Em                  D
You feel it in your chest
 
       C                Em               G               D
Your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you
 
 
Chorus:
Em         C         G            D
Icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em       C            G          D
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
 
It's just begun
 
Em        C       D
ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh
 
Verse 2:
C
Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace
Em                      D
It scares me half to death
C
Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing
Em                  D
So take another breath
 
      C                  Em             G                 D
Your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you
 
 
Chorus:
Em          C        G            D
Icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em       C           G           D
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
Em             C               G   D
This is how it feels to take a fall
Em         C        G              D
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
 
 
Bridge:
C                                D
Put up your defences when you leave
Em                         G
You leave because you're certain
    C              D
Of who you want to be
C                                        D
You're putting up your armour when you leave
         Em                    G
And you leave because you're certain
    C              D
Of who you want to be, ohhh
 
 
Chorus:
Em          C        G            D
Icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em       C           G           D
Icarus' life, it has only just begun
Em             C               G   D
This is how it feels to take a fall
Em         C        G              D
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
 
Em          C    D
oohh oh oh ohh ohhh   x2

What happened to the other version of this? The same comments are here from before, but the tab is completely different, and to be honest the old version was better.
