icarus Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wha[Bm]t are[Em][G]
[Bm]those wings? What is [Em]that rust?
[G]What are those tat[C]tered things that make
you look like [D]Icarus?
Somebody [G]stole [Bm]your fairy dust[Em]
[G]And now the[C] weight inside your chest
betrays your [D]wanderlust[G]
[D]So you

[Verse 2]
[C]fall into [D]the waves
Of a [Em]thousand question[G]s asked
but [C]none explained
And now all, all you [D]can do
Is to [Em]trust that I'll be
[G]waiting here to [C]carry you
I [D]will carry you

[Verse 3]
Spectators [G]come [Bm]from far away[Em]
[G]Like they have tic[C]kets to the circus
on a [D]Sat[Bm]urday
[C]Caught like a [Em]child [G]in [C]a parade
You spread your [Am]arms but
[C]when you're [Am]wounded
[C]You can[D]'t fly away
So you [C]fall into

[Verse 4]
[D]the waves
Of a [Em]thousand question[G]s asked
but [C]none explained
And now all, all you [D]can do
Is to [Em]trust that I'll be
[G]waiting here to [C]carry you
I will [D]carry you

[Verse 5]
[C]Smoke and [Am]feathers
floating through the [G]sky
Like the [Em]tears that you cry
[C]Drops of [Am]melting wax rain down like [G]fire
And [Em]you're so very tired

[Verse 6]
So you [C]fall into the [D]waves
Of [Em]a thousand question[G]s asked
[D]but none [C]explained
And now all, all you can [D]do
Is [Em]to trust that I'll [G]be waiting
[C]here [G]to carry [C]you[Am]
I [C]will carry you
[D]

[Verse 7]
What are those [G]wings?
[Bm]What is that[Em] rust?
