G MajorG        C majorC         D MajorD            G MajorG
Enter me gently, I break in the light

G MajorG        C majorC              D MajorD          BB
Cover my eyes, with the rags of my life

Chorus 1:

Was I dreaming,     Or did you say

    G MajorG             C majorC             D MajorD
The frontiers are falling, it's time to be slipping

 BB       C majorC
away –ay ay

Let's slip away –ay ay

Let's slip away –ay ay

G MajorG               C majorC            D MajorD             G MajorG
All things fall from me, the bonds and the veils

G MajorG               C majorC         D MajorD            G MajorG
All things blow by me, my sorrows have sails

What is there to say,  I really...We're just wasting

BB      GbGb           D MajorD              A majorA

Some came too early and some came too late

      C majorC            BB              C majorC
Were you speaking,     Or did you say

    G MajorG              C majorC            D MajorD
The frontiers have fallen, it's time to be slipping away

My mouth it is frozen, The chrysalis tumbles

    D MajorD
I'm falling, Slow motion

   G minorGm          D MajorD
Dissolve
