[Intro] F F/A F/D F/Bb F F/Bb Csus4 F/D F/Bb Csus4 [Verse 1]
F
For too long now I've been

               Am
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me

   Eb                     F           Dm
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep

          Eb
From the world that's been...

F
...Spinning around you

            Bb/F
With and without you sedating, unkind

             Gm
Show you the way, deliver and faint!

           Csus4      C
Relish to stand in line!

Dm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F                   C/E
I guess you'll find no one to blame

       Eb                      Dm
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game

                       C
Try to fly, flap your wings

                    Bb
As you look to the night sky

                     Csus4  C
A gilded cage in the twilight
[Chorus]
                Fm
You dance on a wire

        Cm           Bbsus4        Bb
See the piper at the gates of dawn

                   Fm
Been caught in the mire

           Cm               Db       Bbsus4
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh

Csus4         Fm
dance on the wire

       Eb/G                  Absus4 Ab
To the breeze that carries change

   Db            Fm            Eb
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars

    Bb/D           Db                   Dbmaj7
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
[Interlude]
F       G   F/Bb F
Ooh ooh ooh oh  uoohh
[Verse 2]
F
For quite a while I have been

               Am
The one that I thought I was happy to be

Eb                       F         Dm
Masquerade, at least a shadow play

          Eb
No one's gonna see...

F
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls

Bb/F
You're afraid to awake

            Gm
Look at the sky, you can't defy

                 Csus4   C
The dark that is calling your name

Dm
Oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F                   C/E
You're blind by the beauty around

       Eb                            Dm
You're numb by the touch and you're deaf to the sound

                        C
Of the sweet-smelling bright

                Bb
melody of the moonlight

                              C
That devours the bars in the twilight
[Chorus]
                Fm
You dance on a wire

        Cm           Bbsus4        Bb
See the piper at the gates of dawn

                   Fm
Been caught in the mire

           Cm               Db       Bbsus4

[Bridge 1]
Eb             Fm                            Dbsus2
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting

Eb          Fm                Dbsus2
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds

Eb                 Fm                       Dbsus2
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing

Eb          Fm                      Dbsus2
King of the wave, now keep flailing about

Eb                    Fm                Dbsus2
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world

Eb                        Fm                       Dbsus2
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across

Eb              Fm                            Dbsus2
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing

Eb             Fm                     Dbsus2
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
[Bridge 2]
Eb                          Fm                    Dbsus2
We're the breath you don't catch, we're the great expectations

Eb                    Fm                Dbsus2
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side

Eb                    Fm                 Dbsus2
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation

Eb                    Fm                       Dbsus2
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light

Eb             Fm           Dbsus2
Get me out of here, take me away

Eb             Fm           Dbsus2
Take me, take me, take me away
