Verse
Am
  For too long now 
C            Cadd9         Am
  There were secrets in my mind
  For too long now
C            Cadd9                Am
  There were things I should have said
  In the darkness 
C       Cadd9             Am
  I was stumbling for the door
  To find a reason
C             Cadd9                Am
  To find the time, the place, the hour
 
                  Em
  Waiting for the winter sun
          G             D
  And the cold light of day
Am                    Em
  The misty ghosts of childhood fears
      G
  The pressure is building
        D
  And I can't stay away

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

Am
  Where I was 
C       Cadd9               Am
  I had wings that couldn't fly
  Where I was
C       Cadd9            Am
  I had tears I couldn't cry
  My emotions 
C        Cadd9     Am
  Frozen in an icy lake
  I couldn't feel them
C           Cadd9        Am
  Until the ice began to break

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

Chorus
Solo

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