You're hiding behind.

E                  Am
In your misty mind have disappeared,

Like a sailor far from the shores of your dreams.

And far from the love of your home,

Sailor lost on your own misty seas.

That you thought you'd never have to climb.

        C
There's a road, oh yeah.

C            F
Reaching and stretching.

To the corner of your mind, ohhh,. (Wailing guitar, over)

       D           Am
Like a river casts aside the dust.

    C         D            Am
And grows and grows, as it flows,

    C            D             Am
The feeling deep inside of you must,

C     G      D
Break like a dam.
