[Verse 1]
C#
For too long now I've been
Fm
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
Cb C# A#m
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
Cb
From the world that's been...
C#
...Spinning around you
Gb/C#
With and without you sedating, unkind
D#m
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
G#sus4 G#
Relish to stand in line!
A#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C# G#/C
I guess you'll find no one to blame
Cb A#m
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
G#
Try to fly, flap your wings
Gb
As you look to the night sky
G#sus4 G#
F gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
C#m
You dance on a wire
G#m Gbsus4 Gb
See the piper at the gates of dawn
C#m
Been caught in the mire
G#m A Gbsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
G#sus4 C#m
dance on the wire
Cb/D# Fbsus4 Fb
To the breeze that carries change
A C#m Cb
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
Gb/A# A Amaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
C# D# C#/Gb C#
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
C#
For quite a while I have been
Fm
The one that I thought I was happy to be
Cb C# A#m
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
Cb
No one's gonna see...
C#
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
Gb/C#
You're afraid to awake
D#m
Look at the sky, you can't defy
G#sus4 G#
The dark that is calling your name
A#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C# G#/C
You're blind by the beauty around
Cb A#m
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
G#
Of the sweet-smelling bright
Gb
melody of the moonlight
G#
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
C#m
You dance on a wire
G#m Gbsus4 Gb
See the piper at the gates of dawn
C#m
Been caught in the mire
G#m A Gbsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh

To the breeze that carries change
A C#m Cb
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars

We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across

Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong

We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
Cb C#m Asus2

Cb C#m Asus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
Cb C#m Asus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light

Get me out of here, take me away
