[Verse 1]
C
For too long now I've been
Em
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
A# C Am
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
A#
From the world that's been...
C
...Spinning around you
F/C
With and without you sedating, unkind
Dm
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
Gsus4 G
Relish to stand in line!
Am
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C G/B
I guess you'll find no one to blame
A# Am
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
G
Try to fly, flap your wings
F
As you look to the night sky
Gsus4 G
E gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
Cm
You dance on a wire
Gm Fsus4 F
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Cm
Been caught in the mire
Gm Ab Fsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Gsus4 Cm
dance on the wire
A#/D Ebsus4 Eb
To the breeze that carries change
Ab Cm A#
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
F/A Ab Abmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
C D C/F C
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
C
For quite a while I have been
Em
The one that I thought I was happy to be
A# C Am
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
A#
No one's gonna see...
C
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
F/C
You're afraid to awake
Dm
Look at the sky, you can't defy
Gsus4 G
The dark that is calling your name
Am
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C G/B
You're blind by the beauty around
A# Am
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
G
Of the sweet-smelling bright
F
melody of the moonlight
G
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
Cm

We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
A# Cm Absus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
A# Cm Absus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
A# Cm Absus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
A# Cm Absus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
A# Cm Absus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
A# Cm Absus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
A# Cm Absus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light

Get me out of here, take me away

Take me, take me, take me away
