TEARS OF THE DRAGON             -  Bruce Dickinson

Intro:
Am  C  Am  C

Verse 1:
Am                C
 For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
Am                C
 For too long now, there were things I should have said
Am               C
 In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door
Am                C
 To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour
Am               Em                 G             D  Am
 Waiting for the winter sun and the cold light of day
Am               Em
 The Mistical to childhood fears
     G                          D
 The pressure is building and I can't stay away

Chorus:
  Em      C      G      D
I throw myself into the sea
  Em        C
Release the wave
       G         D
Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D
To face the fear I once believed
    Em           C          G           D
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

Verse 2:
Am           C
 Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Am           C
 Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
Am           C
 My emotions, frozen in an iced lake
Am                   C
 I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break
Am               Em             G         D    Am
 I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
Am                     Em             G
 The walls I built are crumbling, the water is moving,
     D
 I'm slipping away

Chorus:
  Em      C      G      D
I throw myself into the sea
  Em        C
Release the wave
       G         D
Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D
To face the fear I once believed
    Em           C          G           D
The tears of the dragon for you and for me

Am         Em    G        D

The walls I built are crumbling,
    G
The water is moving,
    D/F#
I'm slipping away

Chorus:
  Em      C      G      D
I throw myself into the sea

Release the wave

Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D

The tears of the dragon for you and for me

Release the wave

Let it wash over me
   Em       C      G      D
To face the fear I once believed

The tears of the dragon for you and for me
