[Intro 1]
[Am]
[C][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
They locked him up [Am]in the tower
so high he couldn't see the [F]ground[G][Am][C][Am]
He sculpted labyrinths and [G]bridges [Am]from things
he found laying [G]round[Am][C][Am]
The black masts were hung for the sons
and [F]daughters of the [G]king
[Am]The mission to rescue them from
a minotaur who would [F]not [G]sing
[Am]In the midst of celebration they forgot
to do what they were [F]told[G]
[Am]Poseidon[G] curse[Am]d the heavens,
[Dm]a suicide [F]from Sounion's coast

[Verse 2]
A mistake they [F]made
Rest upon his head
He could rot in Crete
Or escape instead - C'mon!
[G][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
His son came to his [G]aid and said
[Am]"I will not let you die"[G][Am][C][Am]
They [G]built their [Am]wings [G]and they
[Am]taught themselves to fly[G][Am]
He said "My [G]son,
[Am]don't fly too low cause you migh[F]t drow[G]n,
[Am]But don't fly too high cause[G] it's
[Am]a long way down"[F][G][Am]
When they spread their wings,
he knew [G]that [Am]he was finally fr[F]ee[G][Am]
[G]But he watched as his [Am]son flew high
dropped [Dm]into the sea
[F][G]

[Verse 4]
Consequences,
[Am]some[F]how had to k[G]now
Wax on feathered wing[C]s,
[F]that heat would never [G]go
[Am]Calculated, [F]he tought he did the math
[G]All that he could do now[Am] was[F] stay on
that narrow [Am]path

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][C][Dm]

[Verse 5]
[Am]He could fly no higher,
[Dm]wings will catch on [Am]fire
He saw his soon down [G]there [Am]be low,
low, low, [G]low![Am]
Too late nothing to [G]do[Am]
Or he would perish too
How had it come to [C]this?
What kind of [Dm]gods would cast
this spell down?
[Am]Sometimes there's no explanation
It all comes crashing down
Get used [C]to it while you're still around
[Dm]No matter how hard you try,
[Am]nothings going to last [F]forever
But when he reached the shore,
he raise his head up high
They'd be surprised by something he left [Em]behind

[Interlude 2]
[F][G][Am]
[Dm][Am][F][G][Am][G][F][G]
[Am][Dm][Am][F][G][Am][Dm][G]

[Verse 6]
[F]So when they come for you
and you're about to [G]die
[Am]You have to ask yourself:
"Was it worth all that I paid?"
[F]Before the switch is pulled,
scream out at the top [G]of your [Am]lungs:
"YOU BETTER LIVE YOUR LIFE!"
"THIS AIN'T NO PRACTICE
ROUND!"
"DON'T STUMBLE OFF
THE PATH!"
"CAUSE IT'S A LONG WAY

[Outro 1]
DOWN!"
[Am][C][Am][Dm][Am][F]
