[Verse]
G#m
  For too long now
B            Badd9         G#m
  There were secrets in my mind

  For too long now
B            Badd9                G#m
  There were things I should have said

  In the darkness
B       Badd9             G#m
  I was stumbling for the door

  To find a reason
B             Badd9                G#m
  To find the time, the place, the hour


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


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


G#m
  Where I was
B       Badd9               G#m
  I had wings that couldn't fly

  Where I was
B       Badd9            G#m
  I had tears I couldn't cry

  My emotions
B        Badd9     G#m
  Frozen in an icy lake

  I couldn't feel them
B           Badd9        G#m
  Until the ice began to break


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


[Chorus]

[Solo]


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

[Chorus] x2
