The Mask Slips Away

	  		verse 1 
         Gm            F#m 
I feel a change in the air 
       Em 
The horizon stirs 
           Gm        F#m 
Above, the lightning flares 
        Em 
And the wheel starts to turn 


Chorus 
Cm 
I'm tired of running 
Gm 
I'm tired of hiding 
F 
Feeling the mask slip away 
Cm 
I tried to hold you 
Gm 
I tried to keep you 
F                E 
Letting the mask slip away 


Instrumental

verse 2 
    Gm                   F#m 
The sting of cold winter rain 
          Em 
Somehow I need it to hurt 
    Gm             F#m 
You set the ocean aflame 
     Em 
I'll stand and watch it burn

Letting the mask slip away
