[Verse 1]
D#
For too long now I've been
Gm
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
Db D# Cm
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
Db
From the world that's been...
D#
...Spinning around you
Ab/D#
With and without you sedating, unkind
Fm
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
A#sus4 A#
Relish to stand in line!
Cm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D# A#/D
I guess you'll find no one to blame
Db Cm
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
A#
Try to fly, flap your wings
Ab
As you look to the night sky
A#sus4 A#
G gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
D#m
You dance on a wire
A#m Absus4 Ab
See the piper at the gates of dawn
D#m
Been caught in the mire
A#m Cb Absus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
A#sus4 D#m
dance on the wire
Db/F Gbsus4 Gb
To the breeze that carries change
Cb D#m Db
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
Ab/C Cb Cbmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
D# F D#/Ab D#
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
D#
For quite a while I have been
Gm
The one that I thought I was happy to be
Db D# Cm
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
Db
No one's gonna see...
D#
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
Ab/D#
You're afraid to awake
Fm
Look at the sky, you can't defy
A#sus4 A#
The dark that is calling your name
Cm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D# A#/D
You're blind by the beauty around
Db Cm
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
A#
Of the sweet-smelling bright
Ab
melody of the moonlight
A#
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
D#m
You dance on a wire
A#m Absus4 Ab
See the piper at the gates of dawn

[Bridge 1]
Db D#m Cbsus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
Db D#m Cbsus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
Db D#m Cbsus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
Db D#m Cbsus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
Db D#m Cbsus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
Db D#m Cbsus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
Db D#m Cbsus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
Db D#m Cbsus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
Db D#m Cbsus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
Db D#m Cbsus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
Db D#m Cbsus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
Db D#m Cbsus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
Db D#m Cbsus2
Get me out of here, take me away
Db D#m Cbsus2
Take me, take me, take me away
[Solo 1]
