Verse:
C
I sneer at the sparrow singing at my window such a pretty little lucky thing
C
I sneer at the arrow of comparison thatʼs buried in my chest
C                             Am
Why did God forget to give me wings

     F         G                                                        Am
Why, why, why, why was this restless little soul within me made to fly?
     F         G
Fly, fly, fly, fly

  Am            F                 G
I long to glide across the rising sun
         Am      F    G
My eyes on fire
Am           F            G
I have tendencies to only want
               Am        F    G
What I shouldn’t desire

Chorus:
C                           F
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to fly
C                                     F
Oh, to feel the sunʼs reflection in my eyes, as I rise
C                      G
Oh they tell me to get rid of it
                   F
Cause risk is inconsiderate
F
Dear Icarus, you beautiful idiot
    C                  G       F
But oh what I wouldn’t give to try
   C
To fly

Verse:
C
Father says men like me and him
C
Shouldn’t be caged in
C                                   F
So we will take the east wind and a map
F
To a place without a prison
F
A place where freedoms given
F                                                     C
Were we wonʼt be in the kitchen dipping feathers into wax
       G                  F
And he straps angel wings to my back

       Am             F                 G
Saying so long as you stay far from the sun
   G           Am    G    F
My child, you’ll fly
Am            F                  G
You have tendencies to want your fun
     G                 Am     G     F
Your wild could be your demise

Chorus:
C                           F
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to fly
C                                     F
Oh, to feel the sunʼs reflection in my eyes, as I rise
Am                     G
Oh, they tell me to get rid of it
                   F
Cause risk is inconsiderate
F
Dear Icarus, you beautiful idiot
    Am                  G       F
But oh what I wouldn’t give to try
   Am   G   F
To fly

Outro:
Am                   G
Oh, I never could get rid of this
                     F
When heaven looks so limitless
F
I’m Icarus, a beautiful idiot

Am                    G
Oh, my father you are missing this
                 F
Let it melt your bitterness
F
I’m Icarus, a beautiful idiot

Am                    G
Oh, I cannot blame my ignorance
                       F
Ill blame the sunʼs deliverance
F
I’m Icarus, a beautiful idiot

Am                   G
Oh, I’m sorry I’m indifferent
                    F
To death and it’s relentlessness
F
If Icarus must die
            G
He’ll die a beautiful
F
Idiot
