[Verse]
Cm
  For too long now
D#            D#add9         Cm
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
D#            D#add9                Cm
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
D#       D#add9             Cm
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
D#             D#add9                Cm
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


Cm
  Where I was
D#       D#add9               Cm
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
D#       D#add9            Cm
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
D#        D#add9     Cm
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
D#           D#add9        Cm
  Until the ice began to break


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


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

[Chorus] x2
