[OTHERWORDLY Outro]
     C#m
...And he told him
   Db                                C#m
"Beware, do not fly too close to the sun
     Ebm
The blaze will surely melt those wings."
     B
But alas, he fell
      Db      C#m
His cries, swallowed by the sea...

[Verse 1]
C#m  
Fell out of the air and you broke your wings
 
Like you're doing every other time
C#m  
Made a new pair out of broken things
 
To give it all another try
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 Bm      C#m
And you climb right up
    Bm   C#m
To the highest peaks
Bm   C#m
And reach out to the edge
   Bm   C#m
Of the world you seek
  C#m
Afraid of heights
 Bm      C#m
But you don't believe
 Bm       C#m                 Bm   C#m
You could ever be good enough
 
 
[Chorus]
                 A    F#m
Go on then Icarus
 B         C#m
Take your turn
            A        F#m
You always fly right up
   B      C#m
Until it burns
             B   A
Your wings you never could change
 F#m        B
Always the victim
 C#m
Into the flames again
    B        A     F#m
Go on then Icarus
  B       C#m
Take your turn
        B
You'll never go through them

[Verse 2]
 C#m  
Head in the clouds

Buried your feet in the ground
          C#m              B
Telling yourself it's the world
                A
That holds you down
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Em             C#m
But you've got your chin held high
     Bm   C#m
And your chest pumped up
    Bm   C#m      Bm   C#m
The replica of a runner-up
         C#m
You were made for skies
          Bm   C#m
But you called your bluff
 Bm   C#m                       Bm   C#m
Now you'll never be good enough
 
 
[Chorus]
             A     F#m
Go on then Icarus
 B        C#m
Take your turn
            A           F#m
You always fly right up

Until it burns
            B    A
Your wings you never could change
 F#m         B
Always the victim
 C#m
Into the flames again
 B           A    F#m
Go on then Icarus
 B        C#m
Take your turn
         B
You'll never go through them
 C#m
You'll never go through them
                  N.C.
You'll never go through them
 
 
[Bridge]
   C#m                  Bm   C#m
So fall back down back down again
            Bm   C#m
You've got your heads in the clouds
         Bm    C#m    C#m
On the ground again oh ooh...
 Amaj7                                A
Looking for a scapegoat to hold your feat
 Amaj7
Pounding on your chest
                   A6
So you don't feel weak
     C#m
You fall back down back down again
 
 
[Chorus]
  C#m 
Go on then Icarus
 C#m       C#m
Take your turn
            A           F#m
You always fly right up
   B      C#m
Until it burns
            B    A
Your wings you never could change
 F#m         B
Always the victim
 C#m
Into the flames again
             A    F#m
Go on then Icarus
 B        C#m
Take your turn
         B
You'll never go through them

              Fell out of the air and you broke your wings

And you climb right up to the highest peaks
And reach out to the edge of the world you seek
Afraid of heights so you don't believe

Go on then Icarus

Go on then Icarus

Buried your feet in the ground
Telling yourself it's the world that holds you down
But you've got your chin held high
And your chest pumped up

You were made for skies, but you called your bluff
Now you'll never be good enough

Go on then Icarus

Your wings you never could change

Into the flames again
Go on then Icarus
Take your turn
You'll never go through them

You'll never go through them
You'll never go through them

Fall back down, back down again
You've got your heads in the clouds
On the ground again, oh-oh-oh
Looking for a scapegoat to hold your feet
Pounding on your chest so you don't feel weak
You fall back down, back down again

Go on then Icarus
Take your turn
You always fly right up until it burns
Your wings you never could change
Always the victim
Into the flames again
Go on then Icarus
Take your turn
You'll never go through them
