Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon

      [Intro] 
Am/C   (x2)   

[Verse]
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
    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]
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
   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

[Verse]
Am          Em        G        D
   Slowly I awake,    slowly I rise
Am                         Em
   The walls I built are crumbling,
    G
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

[Outro]
      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
