Capo on 1

D G D G

(G)

these days, i am used to strangers

with no hello behind their eyes

i cut my dreams from paper

and i know my subway lines

the last thing that i need is saving

but i'm having trouble sleepin'

feels like my skin is gonna tear

i want to breathe even, but there's not enough air

Bm D G A

to give me the liftoff i'm craving

CHORUS:

so i'll remember this

as i stretch my wings:

for birds like me,

every beat's a reckoning

and i'll take a breath

think i'm gaining ground

Bm D G D G

but so did icarus before he came tearing down

these days, smiling is a talent

i may as well paint up a mask

and label it "manhattan"

and maybe then no one will ask

A G

i'm too scared to say that i'm tired

D G

'cause i can get very high praises

from friends in high places

Bm A

but each time i say that i'm fine

G A

i know i'm the liar

CHORUS

i've been told

A G

that lonely souls

never make it past the threshold but i

won't give in

A G

to the heaviness

i deserve something to win

D G A

so i'll remember this

as i stretch my wings:

for birds like me,

every beat's a reckoning

D A

and i'll take a breath

kicking off the ground

G Bm D G

oh brother icarus; i'll fly before coming down

Bm D G Bm A D

down, down

D G D
