[Verse]
Bm
  For too long now
D            Dadd9         Bm
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
D            Dadd9                Bm
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
D       Dadd9             Bm
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
D             Dadd9                Bm
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


Bm
  Where I was
D       Dadd9               Bm
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
D       Dadd9            Bm
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
D        Dadd9     Bm
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
D           Dadd9        Bm
  Until the ice began to break


                  F#m
  I have no power over this
      A         E
  You know I'm afraid
      Bm                F#m
  The walls I built are crumblig
      A
  The water is moving
      E
  I'm slipping away


[Chorus]

[Solo]


Bm         F#m
  Slowly I awake
  A        E    Bm
  Slowly I rise
                        F#m
  The walls I built are crumblig
      A
  The water is moving
      E
  I'm slipping away

[Chorus] x2
