Icarus

             E         A
Maybe you're crazy for trying
              E            A
How could you dare attempt flying?
        A              E
There's no one who can stop you now
    G              D            
The question isn't if but rather
F#m7  B
 how

            E          A
Isn't there pride in ambition?
         E          A
Having a goal and a mission?
A                     E
Who knows what you've yet to be
   G               D              
If they can do it, you think "Why 
  F#m7   B
not me?"

          A
We try to fly
              E
It turns to a crawl

             C#m                   
Once we find out we're not special 
   B
at all
             A
Feathers and wax
                 E
The wings come undone
             C#m                   
"Get back to work, kid, there's no 
         B
time for fun"
                        E
You're too close to the sun

             E           A
Put all your eggs in one basket
             E                
Dig your own grave, build your 
 A
casket
    A           E
You settle into some routine
    G               D             
And take a match to every dream 
F#m7   B
you have

           E             A
All of the effort you're giving
          E           A
You are alive but not living
    A               E
You had a chance to make your play
    G                    D        
But now you're caught up in the 
   F#m7   B
day by day

            A
So, you fly low
                 E
It's safe by the shore
               C#m                 
But something inside is still 
      B
hungry for more
                 A
The wings become stiff
               E
You need to be free
               C#m               
You say, "This life is too simple 
     B
for me"
                        E
You're too close to the sea
