[Verse]
Fm
  For too long now
G#            G#add9         Fm
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
G#            G#add9                Fm
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
G#       G#add9             Fm
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
G#             G#add9                Fm
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


Fm
  Where I was
G#       G#add9               Fm
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
G#       G#add9            Fm
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
G#        G#add9     Fm
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
G#           G#add9        Fm
  Until the ice began to break


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


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

[Chorus] x2
