[Verse 1]
F
For too long now I've been
Am
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
Eb F Dm
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
Eb
From the world that's been...
F
...Spinning around you
A#/F
With and without you sedating, unkind
Gm
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
Csus4 C
Relish to stand in line!
Dm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F C/E
I guess you'll find no one to blame
Eb Dm
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
C
Try to fly, flap your wings
A#
As you look to the night sky
Csus4 C
A gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
Fm
You dance on a wire
Cm A#sus4 A#
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Fm
Been caught in the mire
Cm Db A#sus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Csus4 Fm
dance on the wire
Eb/G Absus4 Ab
To the breeze that carries change
Db Fm Eb
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
A#/D Db Dbmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
F G F/A# F
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
F
For quite a while I have been
Am
The one that I thought I was happy to be
Eb F Dm
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
Eb
No one's gonna see...
F
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
A#/F
You're afraid to awake
Gm
Look at the sky, you can't defy
Csus4 C
The dark that is calling your name
Dm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F C/E
You're blind by the beauty around
Eb Dm
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
C
Of the sweet-smelling bright
A#
melody of the moonlight
C
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]

Eb Fm Dbsus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
Eb Fm Dbsus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
Eb Fm Dbsus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
Eb Fm Dbsus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
Eb Fm Dbsus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
Eb Fm Dbsus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
Eb Fm Dbsus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
Eb Fm Dbsus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
Eb Fm Dbsus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
Eb Fm Dbsus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
Eb Fm Dbsus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
Eb Fm Dbsus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
Eb Fm Dbsus2
Get me out of here, take me away
Eb Fm Dbsus2
Take me, take me, take me away
