       Eb5
We're swimming in the deep end
   Eb5
I find out where your faith begins
       C5                            Bb5
You're waiting for an answer that's acceptable

    Ab5
The current sweeps you out to sea
        Bb5
And it keeps you guessing helplessly
        Eb5            Eb5        C5            Bb5
You're praying for a savior who's exceptional

    Ab5
Someone who'll lift you from your knees
     Bb5
And save you, and hand you the keys
     Eb5            Eb5            C5       Bb5
And offer you the kingdom of your dreams


But nothing's ever as it seems

You find yourself further down stream

Alone, save for the echoes of your screams

     Ab5           Bb5                 Eb5
Ah, honey, fairy tales are prone to tease


[ Eb5 chord in background, but bass goes: C5 D5 Eb5  F5 G5 Ab5  G5 F5 Eb5 ]

     Eb5
Well candles burn you warm and safe
     Eb5
You lock your door and control your space
     C5                                       Bb5
And curtains drawn, you think that you're impenetrable


But demons they don't live outside
They burrow deep where they can hide
Inside a safe, you will still feel vulnerable

You draw a bath and pour some wine
You drink yourself into another time
Where you feel truly free

The water's rising overhead
And you wake to find yourself in bed
You're gasping, for a breath that's hard to breathe

Ahh, honey, dreams are rarely what they seem

Oh, how, e-ver, many takes, it takes

      Eb5
Well, step outside into the sun
Eb5
Let it dry your eyes and run around
          C5                       Bb5
Feel the warmth underneath your skin

The clouds will soon move in again
You can't expect to always win
You got to, take it as it comes

The marching bands and beating drums
Play familiar songs for the alum
We all got scars, but we don't like to show them

Sometimes it's better to be strong
We all got to be moving on
You got to walk a million miles

Ahh, honey, go walk them with a smile.

Oh, how, ever, many takes, it takes.
