[Verse]
Dm
  For too long now
F            Fadd9         Dm
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
F            Fadd9                Dm
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
F       Fadd9             Dm
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
F             Fadd9                Dm
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


Dm
  Where I was
F       Fadd9               Dm
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
F       Fadd9            Dm
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
F        Fadd9     Dm
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
F           Fadd9        Dm
  Until the ice began to break


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


Dm         Am
  Slowly I awake
  C        G    Dm
  Slowly I rise
                        Am
  The walls I built are crumblig
      C
  The water is moving
      G
  I'm slipping away

[Chorus] x2
