[Verse 1]
B
For too long now I've been
D#m
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
A B G#m
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
A
From the world that's been...
B
...Spinning around you
Fb/B
With and without you sedating, unkind
C#m
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
F#sus4 F#
Relish to stand in line!
G#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
B F#/A#
I guess you'll find no one to blame
A G#m
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
F#
Try to fly, flap your wings
Fb
As you look to the night sky
F#sus4 F#
D# gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
Bm
You dance on a wire
F#m Fbsus4 Fb
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Bm
Been caught in the mire
F#m G Fbsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
F#sus4 Bm
dance on the wire
A/C# Dsus4 D
To the breeze that carries change
G Bm A
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
Fb/G# G Gmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
B C# B/Fb B
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
B
For quite a while I have been
D#m
The one that I thought I was happy to be
A B G#m
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
A
No one's gonna see...
B
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
Fb/B
You're afraid to awake
C#m
Look at the sky, you can't defy
F#sus4 F#
The dark that is calling your name
G#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
B F#/A#
You're blind by the beauty around
A G#m
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
F#
Of the sweet-smelling bright
Fb
melody of the moonlight
F#
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
Bm
You dance on a wire
F#m Fbsus4 Fb
See the piper at the gates of dawn

Been caught in the mire

To the breeze that carries change
G Bm A
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
Fb/G# G Gmaj7

[Bridge 1]
A Bm Gsus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
A Bm Gsus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
A Bm Gsus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
A Bm Gsus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
A Bm Gsus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
A Bm Gsus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
A Bm Gsus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
A Bm Gsus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
A Bm Gsus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
A Bm Gsus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
A Bm Gsus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
A Bm Gsus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
A Bm Gsus2
Get me out of here, take me away
A Bm Gsus2
Take me, take me, take me away
[Solo 1]

Take me away
