I kAmnow I can't get much cGloser today
I know I'm burning, but I nCeed an escape
Lord knows I've waiDmted all week for today, all week for today
They Amsay, Son, what've you done to your faGce?
It's such a terrible lCife to waste
Keep away from the sun
Oh, it's a faDmtal mistake, oh, it's a fatal mistake
I'm like miAmdnight, mid-flight
Cotton mouth and wide eyed
AlGright, face white, need a minute outside
OFh, 'cause I don't feel so alrDmight
Well, nAmow it's bright lights, can't hide
Hoping that I don't dGie
Teeth grind, new heights
Think I'm floFating out of sight
Think I'm floDmating out of sight, oh
CFeathers burn 'cause I get too high
IcaGrus falls out of the sFky
CAnd I go too far always, sometimes
GIcarus is dead by sunFrise
AmNow I'm on the wrong side of the waves
GI ain't right, I ain't feeling okay
CI'm still out of my hDmead
I hope that they're still in bed
I hope no one's awake
AmThey say, Son, you're a fucking disgrace
GCan't believe it's my blood in your veins
CI don't know who you are
DmYou're not the boy that I raised
You're not the boy that I raised
AmI'm like midnight, mid-flight
Cotton mouth and wide eyed
GAlright, face white, need a minute outside
FOh, 'cause I don't feel so aDmlright
AmWell, now it's bright lights, can't hide
Hoping that I don't die
GTeeth grind, new heights
Think I'm floFating out of sight
Think I'm flDmoating out of sight, oh
And Cfeathers burn 'cause I get too high
GIcarus falls out of the sFky
CAnd I go too far always, sometimes
GIcarus is dead by sunFrise
But I'm so hFigh, I've been flying all night
Yeah, IC'm soaring
Straight through to mGorning
Straight through to morning
FSun rose and I was too close, now it's dawCning
My feathers are faGlling
I fell with no warFning
And feaCthers burn 'cause I get too high
GIcarus falls out of the sFky
And I gCo too far always, sometimes
GIcarus is dead by sunFrise
And feaCthers burn 'cause I get too high
GIcarus falls out of the sFky
CI go too far always, sometimes
GIcarus is dead by sunFrise

Am G

I know I can't get much closer today

I know I'm burning, but I need an escape

Lord knows I've waited all week for today, all week for today

Am G

They say, Son, what've you done to your face?

It's such a terrible life to waste

Keep away from the sun

Oh, it's a fatal mistake, oh, it's a fatal mistake

I'm like midnight, mid-flight

Cotton mouth and wide eyed

Alright, face white, need a minute outside

F Dm

Oh, 'cause I don't feel so alright

Well, now it's bright lights, can't hide

Hoping that I don't die

Teeth grind, new heights

Think I'm floating out of sight

Think I'm floating out of sight, oh

Feathers burn 'cause I get too high

G F

Icarus falls out of the sky

And I go too far always, sometimes

G F

Icarus is dead by sunrise

Now I'm on the wrong side of the waves

I ain't right, I ain't feeling okay

C Dm

I'm still out of my head

I hope that they're still in bed

I hope no one's awake

They say, Son, you're a fucking disgrace

Can't believe it's my blood in your veins

I don't know who you are

You're not the boy that I raised

I'm like midnight, mid-flight

Cotton mouth and wide eyed

Alright, face white, need a minute outside

F Dm

Oh, 'cause I don't feel so alright

Well, now it's bright lights, can't hide

Hoping that I don't die

Teeth grind, new heights

Think I'm floating out of sight

Think I'm floating out of sight, oh

And feathers burn 'cause I get too high

G F

Icarus falls out of the sky

And I go too far always, sometimes

G F

Icarus is dead by sunrise

But I'm so high, I've been flying all night

Yeah, I'm soaring

Straight through to morning

F C

Sun rose and I was too close, now it's dawning

My feathers are falling

I fell with no warning

And feathers burn 'cause I get too high

G F

Icarus falls out of the sky

And I go too far always, sometimes

G F

Icarus is dead by sunrise

And feathers burn 'cause I get too high

G F

Icarus falls out of the sky

I go too far always, sometimes

G F

Icarus is dead by sunrise
