Jason Webley - Icarus chords
Start Jamming...
I wake up every morning to the sound of motors roaring, they are drowning out the voices [E] in my head.
At night while I am sleeping I can hear the angels speaking, but I can't recall a single [Am] thing they said.
I see their lips move clearly, I feel their [C] presence near me, but each word they try [Em] to tell me just [Dm] slips through the cracks.
I [E] push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain, and then a voice from somewhere who is too [Am] relaxed.
I'll say a word for sickness, she is my favorite mistress, yes she knows my body like [E] no other can.
My flesh and spirit keep colliding when her fingers are inside me, oh my god, oh my god, lady [Am] I'm your man.
Fever, flu, malaria, come near me, do not spare me, I just long to [A] spend another [Dm] night under attack.
[E] I wrench, I shake, I cry until I break, and then I feel something release [Am] and I relax.
[A]
[Am] I've banged my head for days against the walls inside this maze, I've never been too good at this damn kind [E] of thing.
I'm in here with my father, I'm just [E] pacing, but he's smarter, he's been building a fantastic [Am] set of wings.
And like that I'm up and flying with the labyrinth behind me, but I go too high, the sun is [Dm] melting through the wax.
[E] It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth, and as I fall I feel myself [A] relax.
[F#] Am I [Dm] letting go?
Am [Am] I letting go?
I think I'm letting go.
I must be [Am] letting
[Em] go.
[D] Am I [Dm] letting go?
[A] I think I'm [C] letting go.
[Em] I must be letting [E] go.
I've got [Am] to let it go, let [Dm] it go, I've got to let it [Am] go.
I'm gonna let [E] it go, I'm [Am] gonna let it go, let go, let go, let go, [Dm]
let go.
I'm letting [Am] go, I'm [E] letting go, let go, [Am] let go, let go, let go, [Dm] let go, let go, let go.
[A] I'm letting go, I'm letting [E] go, let go, let go.
I
[Am]
wake up every morning, the sound of motors roaring.
They are drowning out these voices in [E] my night while I am sleeping.
I still hear the angels speaking, but I can't recall a single thing [Am] they say.
I see their lips move clearly, I feel their presence near me, but I'll bear [A] unearthly wisdom just as to [Dm] the cracks.
I [E] push, I strain, I wrestle my brain.
I wretch, I shake, I cry until I break.
It burns, it hurts, I tumble to the earth, and as I fall I feel [E] myself relax.
[Am]
