[Intro]
Bbm Gbadd9 Bbm
Gbadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
Bbm           Gbadd9          Bbm
   Let it out,      let it out
    Gbadd9               Bbm
Feel      the empty space
           Gbadd9
So insecure
              Db
Find the words
              Ab
And let it out
Bbm             Gbadd9            Bbm
   Staring down,      staring down
    Gbadd9           Bbm
Nothing comes to mind
              Gbadd9
Find the place
           Db           Ab/C
Turn the water into wine
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gbadd9                         Bbm
      But I feel I'm getting nowhere
Gbadd9                          Fm
      And I'll never see the end
Ab         Db Ab/C
  So I wither
 
 
[Chorus]
       Bbm            Gb
And render myself helpless
  Db     Ab/C
I give in
     Bbm               Gb
And everything is clear
  Db       Ab/C
I breakdown
    Gb
And let the story guide me
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bbm          Gbadd9
   Turn it on
          Bbm
Turn it on
   Gbadd9                 Bbm
Let      the feelings flow
               Gbadd9
Close your eyes
            Db                Ab
See the ones  you used to know
Bbm       Gbadd9       Bbm
   Open up      open up
      Gbadd9            Bbm
Don't struggle to relate
           Gbadd9
Lure it out
           Db         Ab/C
Help the memory escape
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gbadd9                              Bbm
      Still this barrenness consumes   me
Gbadd9                         Fm
      And I feel like giving up
Ab         Db Ab/C
  So I wither
 
 
[Chorus]
       Bbm            Gb
And render myself helpless
  Db     Ab/C
I give in
     Bbm               Gb
And everything is clear
  Db       Ab/C
I breakdown
    Bbm                Gb
And let the story guide  me
  Db    Ab/C
I wither
        Bbm           Gb
And give   myself away
Ebm                            Gb
   Like reflections on the page
           Ab               Gb
The world's  what you create
 
 
[Bridge]
Ab Bbm Gb Ab
Bbm
 
 
[Interlude]
  Gb             Ab
I drown in hesitation
        Bbm
My words   come crashing down
       Gb            Fm
And all  my best creations
    Bbm
Burning to the ground
           Gb             Ab
The thought  of starting over
      Db     Ab/C   Bbm
Leaves  me paralyzed
           Gb
Tear it out  again
 Fm                 Ab
Another one that got  away
 
 
[Piano Break]
  Db    Ab/C
I wither
       Bbm            Gb
And render myself helpless
  Db     Ab/C
I give in
     Bbm               Gb
And everything is clear
 
 
[Solo]
Db Ab/C Bbm Gb
Db Ab/C Bbm
Gb      Db Ab/C
  I wither
 
 
[Chorus]
       Bbm            Gb
And render myself helpless
  Db     Ab/C
I give in
     Bbm               Gb
And everything is clear
  Db       Ab/C
I breakdown
    Bbm                Gb
And let the story guide  me
  Db    Ab/C
I wither
        Bbm           Gb
And give   myself away
Ebm                            Gb
   Like reflections on the page
           Ab               Bbm
The world's  what you create
 
 
[Outro]
Gbadd9 Bbm           Gbadd9               Bbm
          The world's      what you create
Gbadd9 Bbm            Gbadd9      Bbm
          Let it out, let   it out
              [Music & Lyrics by John Petrucci]

Let it out, let it out
Feel the empty space
So insecure
Find the words
And let it out

Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place
Turn the water into wine

But I feel I'm getting nowhere
And I'll never see the end

So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me

Turn it on
Turn it on
Let the feelings flow
Close your eyes
See the ones you used to know

Open up open up
Don't struggle to relate
Lure it out
Help the memory escape
Still this barrenness consumes me
And I feel like giving up

So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me

I wither
And give myself away

Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create

I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burning to the ground
The thought of starting over
Leaves me paralyzed

Tear it out again
Another one that got away

I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear

I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away

Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create
