TEARS OF THE DRAGON       - Bruce Dickinson

Intro:
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC

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

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

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

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