[Verse 1]
G
For too long now I've been
Bm
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
F G Em
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
F
From the world that's been...
G
...Spinning around you
C/G
With and without you sedating, unkind
Am
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
Dsus4 D
Relish to stand in line!
Em
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G D/F#
I guess you'll find no one to blame
F Em
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
D
Try to fly, flap your wings
C
As you look to the night sky
Dsus4 D
B gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
Gm
You dance on a wire
Dm Csus4 C
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Gm
Been caught in the mire
Dm Eb Csus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Dsus4 Gm
dance on the wire
F/A A#sus4 A#
To the breeze that carries change

Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars

The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
G A G/C G
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
G
For quite a while I have been
Bm
The one that I thought I was happy to be
F G Em
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
F
No one's gonna see...
G
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
C/G
You're afraid to awake
Am
Look at the sky, you can't defy
Dsus4 D
The dark that is calling your name
Em
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G D/F#
You're blind by the beauty around
F Em
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
D
Of the sweet-smelling bright
C
melody of the moonlight
D
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]

F Gm Ebsus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
F Gm Ebsus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
F Gm Ebsus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
F Gm Ebsus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
F Gm Ebsus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
F Gm Ebsus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
F Gm Ebsus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
F Gm Ebsus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
F Gm Ebsus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
F Gm Ebsus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
F Gm Ebsus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
F Gm Ebsus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
F Gm Ebsus2
Get me out of here, take me away
F Gm Ebsus2
Take me, take me, take me away
[Solo 1]
