A#               Gm Dm
Too close to the sun
         F            A# Gm
Clouded light in the eyes
    Dm  F      A#   Gm
Slipping into your pain
Pain till it heals
Gone to my toes
Mighty, ah high times

Chorus:
Gm
You're looking out for something
C
Some escape from
Gm           F              C
The antique dark of nothing new
Automatic sky
out where the cupids dare
to climb Soon these pretty feathers burn
As you'll discover
When you fly
          D#   F  Dm F
too close to the sun
A#        Gm     Dm F A# Gm
Too close to the sun

Stay while you're by
Back for a night not back for long
Salon it's unfolding by the time we realise
Ah, High

Chorus:
You're looking out for something
Some escape from
The antique dark of nothing new
Automatic sky out where the cupids dare to climb
Soon these pretty feathers burn
As you'll discover
When you fly too close to the sun
Too close to the sun
Too close to the sun
Too close to the sun
Too Close to the Sun
