| Eb | |
| We're s | wimming in the deep end |
| Eb/D | |
| I f | ind out where your faith begins |
| C | Bb | |
| You're | waiting for an answer that's | acceptable |
| Ab | |
| The | current sweeps you out to sea |
| Bb | |
| And it k | eeps you guessing helplessly |
| Eb | Eb/D | C | Bb | |
| You're p | raying for a s | avior who's | exceptional |
| Ab | |
| Some | one who'll lift you from your knees |
| Bb | |
| And s | ave you, and hand you the keys |
| Eb | Eb/D | C | Bb | |
| And o | ffer you the k | ingdom of your d | reams |
| But nothing's ever as it seems |
| You find yourself further down stream |
| Alone, save for the echoes of your screams |
| Ab | Bb | Eb | |
| Ah, h | oney, fairy t | ales are prone to t | ease |
| (Eb chord in background, but bass goes: C D Eb F G Ab G F Eb) |
| Eb | |
| Well | candles burn you warm and safe |
| Eb/D | |
| You l | ock your door and control your space |
| C | Bb | |
| And c | urtains drawn, you think that you're imp | enetrable |
| But demons they don't live outside |
| They burrow deep where they can hide |
| Inside a safe, you will still feel vulnerable |
| You draw a bath and pour some wine |
| You drink yourself into another time |
| Where you feel truly free |
| The water's rising overhead |
| And you wake to find yourself in bed |
| You're gasping, for a breath that's hard to breathe |
| Ahh, honey, dreams are rarely what they seem |
| Oh, how, e-ver, many takes, it takes |
| Eb | |
| Well, | step outside into the sun |
| Eb/D | |
| Let it dry your eyes and run around |
| C | Bb | |
| Feel the w | armth underneath your sk | in |
| The clouds will soon move in again |
| You can't expect to always win |
| You got to, take it as it comes |
| The marching bands and beating drums |
| Play familiar songs for the alum |
| We all got scars, but we don't like to show them |
| Sometimes it's better to be strong |
| We all got to be moving on |
| You got to walk a million miles |
| Ahh, honey, go walk them with a smile. |
| Oh, how, ever, many takes, it takes. |
