[Verse]
F#m
  For too long now
A            Aadd9         F#m
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
A            Aadd9                F#m
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
A       Aadd9             F#m
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
A             Aadd9                F#m
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


F#m
  Where I was
A       Aadd9               F#m
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
A       Aadd9            F#m
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
A        Aadd9     F#m
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
A           Aadd9        F#m
  Until the ice began to break


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


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

[Chorus] x2
