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            F#m7  B 
The question isn't if but rather 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                F#m7   B 
If they can do it, you think "Why not me?" 

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

             E           A 
Put all your eggs in one basket 
             E                 A 
Dig your own grave, build your casket 
    A           E 
You settle into some routine 
    G               D             F#m7   B 
And take a match to every dream 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           F#m7   B 
But now you're caught up in the day by day 

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