Bastille - Icarus

this is an easy song to play , just listen to it to get the rhythm or play it however you
want around these chords! pretty sure they’re all correct : )

i think the chorus sounds better with A D/F# rather than just A D but either makes sense
and D is a litter easier to play .

intro :
Em C D
ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Em C D
ohhh oh oh oh ohhh ohhh

verse 1 :
C
look who’s digging their own grave , that is what they all say
Em D
you’ll drink yourself to death
C
look who makes their own bed , lies right down within it
Em D
what will you have left?
C
out on the front door step , drinking from a paper cup
Em D
you won’t remember this
C
living beyond your years , acting out all their fears
Em D
you feel it in your chest

C Em G D
your hands protect the flames , from the wild winds around you

chorus :
Em C G D
icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em C G D
icarus’ life , it has only just begun

it’s just begun

Em C D
ooh oh oh oh ohh ohh

verse 2 :
C
standing on the cliff face , highest fall you’ll ever grace
Em D
it scares me half to death
C
look out to the future , but it tells you nothing
Em D
so take another breath

C Em G D
your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you

chorus :
Em C G D
icarus is flying to close to the sun
Em C G D
icarus’ life , it has only just begun
Em C G D
this is how it feels to take a fall
Em C G D
icarus is flying towards an early grave

bridge :
C D
put up your defences when you leave
Em G
you leave because you’re certain
C D
of who you want to be
C D
you’re putting up your armour when you leave
Em G
and you leave because you’re certain
C D
of who you want to be , ohhh

chorus :
Em C G D
icarus is flying to close to the sun
