[Verse]
Gm
  For too long now
A#            A#add9         Gm
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
A#            A#add9                Gm
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
A#       A#add9             Gm
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
A#             A#add9                Gm
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


Gm
  Where I was
A#       A#add9               Gm
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
A#       A#add9            Gm
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
A#        A#add9     Gm
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
A#           A#add9        Gm
  Until the ice began to break


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


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

[Chorus] x2
