Bruce Dickinson – Tears Of The Dragon

{Intro}

[Am]    [C]   [Am]    [C]

{Verse 1}

[Am]   For too long now[C], there were secrets in my mind
[Am]   For too long now[C], there were things I should have said
[Am]   In the darkness[C], I was stumbling for the door
[Am]   To find a reason[C], to find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the [Em]winter sun and the [G]cold light of [D]day
[Am]   The misty ghost of [Em]childhood fears
The [G]pressure is building and I [D]can't stay away

{Chorus}

I [Em]throw my[C]self in[G]to the [D]sea
Rel[Em]ease the [C]wave
Let it [G]wash over [D]me
To [Em]face the [C]fear I [G]once be[D]lieved
The [Em]tears of the [C]dragon for [G]you and for [D]me

{Verse 2}

[Am]   Where I was[C], I had wings that couldn't fly
[Am]   Where I was[C], I had tears I couldn't cry
[Am]   My emotions[C], frozen in an icy [Am]lake
I couldn't feel them[C] until the ice began to [Am]break

I have no power [Em]over this, you [G]know I'm af[D]raid
[Am]   The walls I built are [Em]crumbling
The [G]water is moving, I'm [D]slipping away

{Chorus}

I [Em]throw my[C]self in[G]to the [D]sea
Rel[Em]ease the [C]wave
Let it [G]wash over [D]me
To [Em]face the [C]fear I [G]once be[D]lieved
The [Em]tears of the [C]dragon for [G]you and for [D]me

{Guitar Solo}

[Am]    [G]    [F]    [G]
[Am]    [Dm]    [C]    [G]
[A5]    [G5]    [F5]
[Am]    [D5]    [C5]
[A5]4x  [D5]    [C5]    [G5]
[Am]2x  [Dm]    [Em]

{Bridge}

[Am]   Slowly I a[Em]wake, [G]slowly I [D]rise
[Am]   The walls I built are [Em]crumbling
The [G]water is moving, I'm [D]slipping away

{Chorus}

I [Em]throw my[C]self in[G]to the [D]sea
Rel[Em]ease the [C]wave
Let it [G]wash over [D]me
To [Em]face the [C]fear I [G]once be[D]lieved
The [Em]tears of the [C]dragon for [G]you and for [D]me

I [Em]throw my[C]self in[G]to the [D]sea
Rel[Em]ease the [C]wave
Let it [G]wash over [D]me
To [Em]face the [C]fear I [G]once be[D]lieved
The [Em]tears of the [C]dragon for [G]you and for [D]me
