Eb
We're swimming in the deep end
Eb/D
I find out where your faith begins
C Bb
You're waiting for an answer that's acceptable
Ab
The current sweeps you out to sea
Bb
And it keeps you guessing helplessly
Eb Eb/D C Bb
You're praying for a savior who's exceptional
Ab
Someone who'll lift you from your knees
Bb
And save you, and hand you the keys
Eb Eb/D C Bb
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
Ab Bb Eb
Ah, honey, fairy tales are prone to tease
[Eb chord in background, but bass goes: C D Eb F G Ab G F Eb]
Eb
Well candles burn you warm and safe
Eb/D
You lock your door and control your space
C Bb
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
Eb
Well, step outside into the sun
Eb/D
Let it dry your eyes and run around
C Bb
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.
