Icarus

Am
I wake up every morning to the sound
 of motors roaring
Am                                
They are drowning out the voices 
        E
in my head
E
At night while I am sleeping I can 
hear the angels speaking
E                                 
But I can't recall a single thing 
     Am
they said

Am
I see their lips move clearly, I 
feel their presence near me
Am                                
But each word they try to tell me 
                         Dm
just slips through the cracks
E          E         E
I push, I strain, I wrestle with my 
brain
                E              
And then a voice from somewhere 
    E           Am
whispers to relax

[Verse 2]
Am
I'll say a word for sickness, she is
 my favorite mistress
Am                                
Yes, she knows my body like no 
   E
other can
E
My flesh and spirit keep colliding 
when her fingers are inside me
E                                 
Oh my god, oh my god, lady, I'm 
  Am
your man

Am
Fever, flu, malaria, come near me, 
do not spare me
Am                                
I just long to spend another night
         Dm
 under attack
    E        E       E
I retch, I shake, I cry until I 
break
               E             E    
And then I feel something release 
        Am
and I relax

[Verse 3]
Am
I bang my head for days against the 
walls inside this maze

Am                             
I've never been too good at this 
                 E
damn kind of thing
E
I'm in here with my father, I'm just
 pacing but he's smarter
E                                 
He's been building a fantastic set
      Am
 of wings

Am
And like that I'm up and flying with
 the labyrinth behind me
Am                          
But I go too high, the sun is 
                       Dm
melting through the wax
    E         E         E
It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the 
earth
     E                        Am
And as I fall I feel myself relax

[Bridge]
       Dm
Am I letting go?
       Am
Am I letting go?
              E    E
I think I'm letting go
E           Am
I must be letting go

     Dm
Am I letting go?
             Am
I think I'm letting go
           E
I must be letting go
E            Am
I've got to let it go

       Dm
Let it go
Dm
I've got to let it go
Am         E
Go, let it go
E                   Am           
I've got to let it go, let go, 
                  Dm
let go, let go, let go

Dm          Am              E
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
E                                 
Let go, let go, let go, let go, 
       Am      Dm
let go, let go, let go
Dm           Am              E
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
E
Let go, let go

[Verse 4]

But all their unearthly wisdom 
                      Dm
just slips through the cracks

    E        E        E
I push, I strain, I wrestle with my 
brain
    E       E        E

And as I fall I feel myself relax
