[Verse 1]
A
For too long now I've been
C#m
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
G A F#m
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
G
From the world that's been...
A
...Spinning around you
D/A
With and without you sedating, unkind
Bm
Show you the way, deliver and faint!
Esus4 E
Relish to stand in line!
F#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A E/G#
I guess you'll find no one to blame
G F#m
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game
E
Try to fly, flap your wings
D
As you look to the night sky
Esus4 E
C# gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
Am
You dance on a wire
Em Dsus4 D
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Am
Been caught in the mire
Em F Dsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Esus4 Am
dance on the wire
G/B Csus4 C
To the breeze that carries change
F Am G
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
D/F# F Fmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
A B A/D A
Ooh ooh ooh oh uoohh
[Verse 2]
A
For quite a while I have been
C#m
The one that I thought I was happy to be
G A F#m
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
G
No one's gonna see...
A
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
D/A
You're afraid to awake
Bm
Look at the sky, you can't defy
Esus4 E
The dark that is calling your name
F#m
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A E/G#
You're blind by the beauty around
G F#m
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound
E
Of the sweet-smelling bright
D
melody of the moonlight
E
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
Am
You dance on a wire
Em Dsus4 D
See the piper at the gates of dawn

Been caught in the mire

To the breeze that carries change
F Am G
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
D/F# F Fmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Bridge 1]
G Am Fsus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
G Am Fsus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
G Am Fsus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
G Am Fsus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
G Am Fsus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
G Am Fsus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across
G Am Fsus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
G Am Fsus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
G Am Fsus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations
G Am Fsus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side
G Am Fsus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
G Am Fsus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light
G Am Fsus2
Get me out of here, take me away
G Am Fsus2
Take me, take me, take me away
[Solo 1]

Take me away
