Verse 1
 B 
You've got your eyes closed, such a temper 
 F# 
Been so long that you can't remember 
 G#min                         E 
How it started, how they took you down 
  B 
You got your wings out, now they're laughing 
 F# 
You're the food at the feast they are having 
  G#min                                   E 
And you know running away doesn't prove them wrong 
 
Pre-Chorus 1
      E 
But have you tried apologising? 
 F# 
Do you know the mess you've made? 
 E 
You believe you hold the answers 
         F# 
But your feathers are all frayed 
 
Chorus
           B 
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus 
            F# 
Why you so serious, serious? 
                 G#min 
You know you've gotta let it go 
                         E 
Cause you're flying too close 
 
Verse 2
 B 
There in your ego lies your weakness 
 F# 
Wrap it tightly and keep it at your chest 
 G#min                            E 
You are only the front that you harness 
 
Pre-Chorus 2
       E 
Your silence is so underrated 
      F# 
The voices are a loaded gun 
             E 
You'll be swallowed up by the sun 
               F# 
Cause you're trying to be someone 
 
Chorus
          B 
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus 
            F# 
Why you so serious, serious? 
                 G#min 
You know you've gotta let it go 
                          E 
Cause you're flying too close 
           B 
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus 
                 F# 
You're being so dangerous, dangerous 
               G#min 
You know the higher you fly 
                  E 
The less you can hide 
 
Bridge

Oh oh oh oh 
 E 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
 F# 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
               E 
Cause they're all waiting in the ocean 
      F# 
With open arms to drag you down 
     E 
So have you tried apologising 
    F# 
Before you start to drown? 
 
Chorus
            B 
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus 
             F# 
Why you so serious, serious? 
                  G#min 
You know you've gotta let it go 
                           E 
Cause you're flying too close 
            B 
Oh well, Icarus, Icarus 
                   F# 
You're being so dangerous, dangerous 
                 G#min 
You know the higher you fly 
              E 
The less you can hide
