[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][F]
[G][Am][Dm]
[F][G][Am][A][Asus4]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me
[Dm]This island our prison, our [G]home[Dm][G]
And [Am]everyday we look out at the sea
This [Dm]place is all he's ever [G]known

[Verse 2]
But [Am]I've got a plan, and some
Wax and some string,
some [Dm]feathers I stole from a bird
We [Am]leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing
[Dm]a song thats too perfect for words

[Verse 3]
[F]But son, please [Am]keep a steady [C]wing
[Dm]And know your [E]the [G#dim]only one
that means [E]any[G#dim]thing to [E]me
[G#dim]Steer clear of [F]the sun,
or [E]you'll [Esus4]find yourself[E] in the sea

[Verse 4]
[Am]Now[Dm][F][G]
[Am]safely away,
I let out a cry
[Dm]We'll make the main[G]land by noon
But [Am]Icarus climbs higher still in [G]the sky
[Dm]Maybe [G]I've spoken [Dm]too [G]soon[Bdim]
[Dm][Am][C][Cdim][Bdim][E]

[Verse 5]
[F]But son, please [Am]keep a steady [C]wing
[Dm]And know your [E]the [G#dim]only one
that [E]means anything to me
Steer [F]clear of the sun,
or [Esus4]you'll find yourse[E]lf in th[F]e sea

[Verse 6]
Wont you [Am]look at your wings
[Dm]They're comi[G#dim]ng undone
[E]They're splitting at the seams
[G#dim]Steer clear of [F]the sun,
for [Esus4]once wont you list[E]en to me?

[Interlude 1]

[Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
Oh [F]God!
Why is this [Dm]happening to me?
All I [Am]wanted was new life for my son
[C]to grow up free
And now you [F]took the only thing
that meant [Dm]anything to me
I'll [Am]never fly again, I'll hang [C]up my wings
Oh [F]God!
Why is [G]this [Dm]happening to me?
All I [Am]wanted was new life for my
son [C]to grow up free
And now you [F]took [G]the only
[F]thing that meant [Dm]anything to me
I'll [Am]never fly again, I'll hang [C]up my wings
[F]Oh [Dm]God!
