[Verse 1]
D
For too long now I've been
F#m
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
C D Bm
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
C
From the world that's been...
D
...Spinning around you
G/D
With and without you sedating, unkind
Em
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
Asus4 A
Relish to stand in line!
Bm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D A/C#
I guess you'll find no one to blame
C Bm
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
A
Try to fly, flap your wings
G
As you look to the night sky
Asus4 A
F# gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
Dm
You dance on a wire
Am Gsus4 G
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Dm
Been caught in the mire
Am A# Gsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Asus4 Dm
dance on the wire
C/E Fsus4 F
To the breeze that carries change
A# Dm C
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
G/B A# A#maj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
D E D/G D
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
D
For quite a while I have been
F#m
The one that I thought I was happy to be
C D Bm
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
C
No one's gonna see...
D
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
G/D
You're afraid to awake
Em
Look at the sky, you can't defy
Asus4 A
The dark that is calling your name
Bm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D A/C#
You're blind by the beauty around
C Bm
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
A
Of the sweet-smelling bright
G
melody of the moonlight
A
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
Dm
You dance on a wire
Am Gsus4 G
See the piper at the gates of dawn

[Bridge 1]
C Dm A#sus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
C Dm A#sus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
C Dm A#sus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
C Dm A#sus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
C Dm A#sus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
C Dm A#sus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
C Dm A#sus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
C Dm A#sus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
C Dm A#sus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
C Dm A#sus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
C Dm A#sus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
C Dm A#sus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
C Dm A#sus2
Get me out of here, take me away
C Dm A#sus2
Take me, take me, take me away
[Solo 1]
F A# Csus4 A# F A# Csus4 A#
Take me away
