[Verse]
Em
  For too long now
G            Gadd9         Em
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
G            Gadd9                Em
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
G       Gadd9             Em
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
G             Gadd9                Em
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


Em
  Where I was
G       Gadd9               Em
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
G       Gadd9            Em
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
G        Gadd9     Em
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
G           Gadd9        Em
  Until the ice began to break


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


Em         Bm
  Slowly I awake
  D        A    Em
  Slowly I rise
                        Bm
  The walls I built are crumblig
      D
  The water is moving
      A
  I'm slipping away

[Chorus] x2
