[Verse]
A#m
  For too long now
C#            C#add9         A#m
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
C#            C#add9                A#m
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
C#       C#add9             A#m
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
C#             C#add9                A#m
  To find the time, the place, the hour


                  Fm
  Waiting for the winter sun
          G#             D#
  And the cold light of day
A#m                    Fm
  The misty ghosts of childhood fears
      G#
  The pressure is building
        D#
  And I can't stay away


[Chorus]
    Fm      C#      G#      D#
  I throw myself into the sea
    Fm        C#
  Release the wave
         G#         D#
  Let it wash over me
     Fm       C#
  To face the fear
    G#      D#
  I once believed
      Fm            C#
  The tears for the dragon
      G#           D#
  For you and for me


A#m
  Where I was
C#       C#add9               A#m
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
C#       C#add9            A#m
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
C#        C#add9     A#m
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
C#           C#add9        A#m
  Until the ice began to break


                  Fm
  I have no power over this
      G#         D#
  You know I'm afraid
      A#m                Fm
  The walls I built are crumblig
      G#
  The water is moving
      D#
  I'm slipping away


[Chorus]

[Solo]


A#m         Fm
  Slowly I awake
  G#        D#    A#m
  Slowly I rise
                        Fm
  The walls I built are crumblig
      G#
  The water is moving
      D#
  I'm slipping away

[Chorus] x2
