[Verse]
A                                                 C# C#m C#
You and I long to live like the wind upon the water

   A
If we close our eyes, we'll maybe realize

A                  C#m    B               A
There's more to life than what we have known

    C#m                     B
And I can't believe I've spent so long

A                                 C#m
Living lies I know were wrong inside

    B                    A       Gm
I've just begun to see the light
Am Gm Eb C Eb Bb G
G     Eb               C
Long ago there was a dream

Bb                    G
Had to make a choice or two

G     Eb                 C
Leaving all I loved behind

Bb               Gm
For what nobody knew

Gm        Eb                   C
Stepped out on the stage, a life

Bb        A      Bb         G
Under lights and judging eyes

G           Eb              C
Now the applause has died and I

C         D
Can dream again...

G           Bb           C   F  A Bb A F
Is there anybody listening?

G            Eb       C     D
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?

G           Bb
Read between the lines

C              Eb
Criticize the words they're selling

Gm             Bb
Think for yourself and feel the walls

D
Become sand beneath your feet

Feel the breeze? Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom

A
There's a warm wind from the south Hoist the sail and we'll be gone

B  C#m               B                A
By morning this will all seem like a dream

            C#m          B               A
And if I don't return to sing the song maybe just as well

B             C#m
I've seen the news and there's

B              A     Gm     C     D
Not much I can do... alone

G         Eb   C    F  A Bb A  F  G
Is there anybody listening?

G         Eb            C            D   G
Is there anyone who smiles without a mask?

G       Bb                  C
What's behind the words - images

Eb
They know will please us?

G            Bb
I'll take what's real

G            Bb
Think for yourself and feel the walls...

        D

For the chorus where I have the A Bb A I just play an open A string and hammer on a Bb power chord and change to the F power, slide up to G.
