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

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

  In the darkness
F#       F#add9             D#m
  I was stumbling for the door

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


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


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


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

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

  My emotions
F#        F#add9     D#m
  Frozen in an icy lake

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


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


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

[Chorus] x2
