The Barrier Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(the C chord here is less a C chord and more of a softly fingerpicked

0-2 hammer-on on the D string. I use the side of my thumb to imitate

Joey Eppard's weird string attack.)

G C G

G C G

Verse 1

GI don't know your naCme G Did I Gdream you toCnight? G

Did I Emdraw the heavens down? ADrape my arms around? An Dangel in flight?

Looking Glike you love me stCill G As you Gkill me goodCbye G

As you're paraEmchuting to the ground, Awatching me go down D

AD7bandoned in flight You left me to Gdie C G

Chorus

Somehow, the Dsus2chiming of shadows reminds me of you

The Chaunted and hollow, the Emlight passing through

The Dsus2sound of your sorrow on the echoes of blue

Down a Cwind water tunnel, at the Emturn of a screw

Doing Aall that you can do to be the Dwall I'm walking D7through

Verse 2

GWhispers in the dCark G Can I Gsteal you toCnight? G

From the Emwreckage piled high, we'll Aclimb back to the sky

DLeap from the ledge, full of D7faith we can fly G C G

Chorus

So come on, reDsus2animate, angel, break from your cage

CWitness the prophecy Emsprung from the page

The Dsus2moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin

The Cmask in the mirror, the Emmonster within

But the Abarrier is thin and the Droom begins to spiD7n

Solo

Chorus 3

Don't you know that the Dsus2war has blown over? We weathered the storm

The Cgrass has grown over the Emgraves that we mourn

Now the Dsus2brightness is teeming, the chains slip away

The Cwolf in the wool is no Emlonger at bay

The Dsus2portal is open, the walls disappear

CJump through the hoop and the Emhell out of here

A Dsus2song in a box on wheels we have blown

CGlides on the back of a Emsnake made of stone

Through Dsus2shadows unfolding and clouds fallen slack

At the Cedge of tomorrow with Emno turning back

ReDsus2animate, angel, break from your cage

CWitness the prophecy Emsprung from the page

The Dsus2moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin

The Cmask in the mirror, the Emmaster within

Oh, but Dsus2I've seen your sorrow at the edge of the screen

CSoften the focus and Eminto a dream

Brief instrumental:

Outro chorus

But the Dsus2barrier is thin, and the Croom begins to spinEm

The Dsus2barrier is thin, and the Croom begins to Emspin

The Dsus2moon in your marrow, the Csmoke on your skiEmn

The Dsus2portal is open, and the Ckingdom is withEmin
