Intro: G5  D5  E5  E5 (2x)

                C5
It's the Icarus wind,
     D5           E5     E5
it's blowing in my eyes
                C5
It's the Icarus wind,
     D5                E5    E5
it's telling me those lies

                       G5    D5
And its heart is like ice
                E5      E5
its fingers are long
                  G5              
And it knows just who'll be torn
D5              E5     E5
apart by that windsong

                G5  D5  E5  E5
It's the Icarus wind
                C5
It's the Icarus wind,
D5                  E5   E5
blowing through my hair
                C5
It's the Icarus wind
D5             E5     E5
loosening the threads
                     G5
And, my God, it will stop you
      D5                   E5     E5
right there, dead in your tracks
                      G5 
If you're just held together
     D5               E5    E5
with hope and candle-wax

                       G5  D5  E5  E5
(2x)   It's the Icarus wind

                  G5    D5
And the higher it pulls me up, 
              E5     E5
the hotter it gets
                    G5            D5
It's the end of the dream around mid fire
         E5     E5
and cigarettes

                C5
It's the Icarus wind
D5                  E5    E5
blowing through my ears
                C5
It's the Icarus wind
D5                  E5     E5
dusting away those tears

                  G5
Singing, baby the truth is
     D5               E5    E5
that this won't hurt at all
                      G5
Soon there'll just be feathers
        D5         E5    E5
and the quiet of the fall

                       G5  D5  E5  E5
(3x)   It's the Icarus wind
