[Verse 1]
FFor too long now I've been
Adrift in this Amocean that washed over me
DilEbuting the secrets that Fyou had to kDmeep
From the wEborld that's been...
F...Spinning around you
With and witBb/Fhout you sedating, unkind
Show you the Gmway, deliver and faint!
Relish to sCsus4tand in linCe!
DmOh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
FI guess you'll find C/Eno one to blame
We're tEbied to the rules of someDmone else's game
Try to fly, flap your wCings
As you look to the nBbight sky
A gilded cage in the Csus4twilighCt
[Chorus]
You dance on a wFmire
See the Cmpiper at the Bbsus4gates of dawn Bb
Been caught in the Fmmire
Now you're Cmreaching for the Dbstars oh Bbsus4oh
Csus4dance on the wFmire
To the Eb/Gbreeze that carries chAbsus4ange Ab
TonDbight you will Fmsee the Great EbPan in the stars
The Bb/Dpiper at the gaDbtes of dawn you'll heDbmaj7ar
[Interlude]
FOoh ooh Gooh F/Bboh uFoohh
[Verse 2]
FFor quite a while I have been
The one that I Amthought I was happy to be
EbMasquerade, at least a shFadow play Dm
No one's gEbonna see...
F...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
Bb/FYou're afraid to awake
Look at the Gmsky, you can't defy
The dark that is Csus4calling Cyour name
DmOh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
FYou're blind by the C/Ebeauty around
You're Ebnumb by the touch and you're dDmeaf to the sound
Of the sweet-smelling brCight
melody of the moBbonlight
That devours the bars in the tCwilight
[Chorus]
You dance on a wFmire
See the Cmpiper at the Bbsus4gates of dawn Bb
Been caught in the Fmmire
Now you're Cmreaching for the Dbstars oh Bbsus4oh
Csus4dance on the wFmire
To the Eb/Gbreeze that carries chAbsus4ange Ab
TonDbight you will Fmsee the Great EbPan in the stars

EbNow open your eFmyes, ain't it what you've beenDbsus2 wanting
EbToo much to Fmfathom, until it uDbsus2nfolds
EbEndure what you're Fmin for, you're meant to bDbsus2e longing
EbKing of the Fmwave, now keep flailing Dbsus2about
EbWe're the dream the inFmhabits the waking Dbsus2old world
EbWe're right here, we're thFme doorway to guide you acDbsus2ross
EbExposed to the sFmpirits that you're meant to beDbsus2 citing
EbMisfit and mispFmlaced, you'll never belDbsus2ong
[Bridge 2]
EbWe're the breath you don't cFmatch, we're the great Dbsus2expectations
EbYou ain't measured up Fmto on the beautifuDbsus2l side
EbWe're the promise not Fmkept - bred in desoDbsus2lation
EbWe're the will of the Fmwisp - demerged from the Dbsus2light
