Intro
E E/G# E/C# E/A E E/A Bsus4 E/C# E/A Bsus4
[Verse 1]
E
For too long now I've been
G#m
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
D E C#m
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
D
From the world that's been...
E
...Spinning around you
A/E
With and without you sedating, unkind
F#m
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
Bsus4 B
Relish to stand in line!
C#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
E B/D#
I guess you'll find no one to blame
D C#m
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
B
Try to fly, flap your wings
A
As you look to the night sky
Bsus4 B
G# gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
Em
You dance on a wire
Bm Asus4 A
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Em
Been caught in the mire
Bm C Asus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Bsus4 Em
dance on the wire
D/F# Gsus4 G
To the breeze that carries change
C Em D
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
A/C# C Cmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
E F# E/A E
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
E
For quite a while I have been
G#m
The one that I thought I was happy to be
D E C#m
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
D
No one's gonna see...
E
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
A/E
You're afraid to awake
F#m
Look at the sky, you can't defy
Bsus4 B
The dark that is calling your name
C#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
E B/D#
You're blind by the beauty around
D C#m
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
B
Of the sweet-smelling bright
A
melody of the moonlight
B
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
Em
You dance on a wire
Bm Asus4 A
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Em
Been caught in the mire
Bm C Asus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Bsus4 Em

D/F# Gsus4 G
To the breeze that carries change
C Em D
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
A/C# C Cmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Bridge 1]
D Em Csus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
D Em Csus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
D Em Csus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
D Em Csus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
D Em Csus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
D Em Csus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
D Em Csus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
D Em Csus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
D Em Csus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
D Em Csus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
D Em Csus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
D Em Csus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
D Em Csus2
Get me out of here, take me away
D Em Csus2
Take me, take me, take me away
[Solo 1]

Take me away
