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:

Dsus2 C Em

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
