[Verse]
C#m
  For too long now
E            Eadd9         C#m
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
E            Eadd9                C#m
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
E       Eadd9             C#m
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
E             Eadd9                C#m
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


C#m
  Where I was
E       Eadd9               C#m
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
E       Eadd9            C#m
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
E        Eadd9     C#m
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
E           Eadd9        C#m
  Until the ice began to break


                  G#m
  I have no power over this
      B         F#
  You know I'm afraid
      C#m                G#m
  The walls I built are crumblig
      B
  The water is moving
      F#
  I'm slipping away


[Chorus]

[Solo]


C#m         G#m
  Slowly I awake
  B        F#    C#m
  Slowly I rise
                        G#m
  The walls I built are crumblig
      B
  The water is moving
      F#
  I'm slipping away

[Chorus] x2
