A# A#/D A#/G A#/Eb A# A#/Eb Fsus4 A#/G A#/Eb Fsus4
[Verse 1]
A#
For too long now I've been
Dm
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
Ab A# Gm
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
Ab
From the world that's been...
A#
...Spinning around you
Eb/A#
With and without you sedating, unkind
Cm
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
Fsus4 F
Relish to stand in line!
Gm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A# F/A
I guess you'll find no one to blame
Ab Gm
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
F
Try to fly, flap your wings
Eb
As you look to the night sky
Fsus4 F
D gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
A#m
You dance on a wire
Fm Ebsus4 Eb
See the piper at the gates of dawn
A#m
Been caught in the mire
Fm Gb Ebsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Fsus4 A#m
dance on the wire
Ab/C Dbsus4 Db
To the breeze that carries change
Gb A#m Ab
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
Eb/G Gb Gbmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
A# C A#/Eb A#
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
A#
For quite a while I have been
Dm
The one that I thought I was happy to be
Ab A# Gm
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
Ab
No one's gonna see...
A#
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
Eb/A#
You're afraid to awake
Cm
Look at the sky, you can't defy
Fsus4 F
The dark that is calling your name
Gm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A# F/A
You're blind by the beauty around
Ab Gm
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
F
Of the sweet-smelling bright
Eb
melody of the moonlight
F
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
A#m
You dance on a wire
Fm Ebsus4 Eb
See the piper at the gates of dawn

Been caught in the mire

To the breeze that carries change
Gb A#m Ab
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
Eb/G Gb Gbmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Bridge 1]
Ab A#m Gbsus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
Ab A#m Gbsus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
Ab A#m Gbsus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
Ab A#m Gbsus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
Ab A#m Gbsus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
Ab A#m Gbsus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
Ab A#m Gbsus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
Ab A#m Gbsus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
Ab A#m Gbsus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
Ab A#m Gbsus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
Ab A#m Gbsus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
Ab A#m Gbsus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
Ab A#m Gbsus2
Get me out of here, take me away
Ab A#m Gbsus2
Take me, take me, take me away
[Solo 1]
