Am Am
Dm
F G A (major)
Am
I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me;
Dm
This island our prison, our home.
Am
And everyday we look out at the sea;
Dm
This place is all he's ever known.
Am
But I've got a plan and some wax and some string;
Dm
Some feathers I stole from the birds.
Am Dm
And we leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a song that's too perfect for words.
F Am C
But son, please keep a steady wing;
[B]
You know you're the only one that means anything to me.
F E7 Am
Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
Am
Dm
F G
Am
Now safely away, I let out a cry
Dm
That we'll make the mainland by noon.
Am
But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky;
Dm
Maybe I've spoken too soon.
F Am C
Oh son, please keep a steady wing
[B]
And know you're the only one who means anything to me
F E7 F
Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
Am C
Won't you look at your wings?
[B]
They're coming undone; they're splitting at the seams.
F E7 Am
Steer clear of the sun; for once won't you listen to me?
[There's a little melodic riff here that repeats for a long time, but I don't do tabs
putting the notes would probably just confuse everyone, so moving along...]
F Dm
Oh gods, why is this happening to me?
Am C
All I wanted was a new life, for my son to grow up free.
F Dm
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me.
Am C
I will never fly again; I will hang up my wings
[Repeat]
F Dm
Oh gods!
Am C
[Repeat and fade out]

I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me
This island, our prison, our home
And every day we look out at the sea
This place is all he's ever known
But I've got a plan and some wax and some string
Some feathers I stole from the birds
So we leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing
A song that's too perfect for words
But son, please keep a steady wing
You know you're the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun
Or you'll find yourself in the sea
Now safely away, I let out a cry
"We'll make the mainland by noon"
But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky
Maybe I've spoken too soon
But son, please keep a steady wing
And know you're the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun
Or you'll find yourself in the sea
Won't you look at your wings
They're coming undone
They're splitting at the seams
Steer clear of the sun
For once won't you listen to me?
Oh gods!
Why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings
Oh gods!

2) Tuning is standard.
3) Guitar 1 (probably Teppei) is panned left.
4) Guitar 2 (probably Dustin) is panned right.
5) Shortcuts were taken; rhythms obviously aren't shown.
6) Some of the positions may not be exact, but you can play around with that.
