Verse 1:
G# minorG#m
I'm woven in a fantasy
D#m/F#
I can't believe the things I see
F#F#
The path that I have chosen now
BMaj7Bmaj7      Fm7b5/B
Has led me to a wall
BMaj7Bmaj7         Fm7b5/B
And with each passing day
Ebsus4/Bb         Eb/BbEb/Bb       Bbsus4Bbsus4   Bb majorBb
I feel a little more like something dear was lost

Pre-Chorus:
BMaj7Bmaj7     C#/B
It rises now before me
BMaj7Bmaj7       C#C#     Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA dark and silent barrier between


Chorus:
Fm7Fm7  Eb/GEb/G
All I am
Ebm/Gb        E MajorE      BB
And all that I would ever want to be
BB      C#C#  Eb MajorEb
It's just a travesty

Fm7Fm7  Eb/GEb/G
Towering
Ebm/Gb     E MajorE       BB
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
C#C#  Eb MajorEb
Would erase


Verse 2:
G# minorG#m
To pass beyond is what I seek
D#m/F#
I fear that I may be too weak
F#F#
And those are few who've seen it through
BMaj7Bmaj7        Fm7b5/B
To glimpse the other side
BMaj7Bmaj7        Fm7b5/B
The promised land is waiting
Ebsus4/Bb       Eb/BbEb/Bb    Bbsus4Bbsus4   Bb majorBb
Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride


Pre Chorus:
BMaj7Bmaj7      C#/B
The moment is a masterpiece
BMaj7Bmaj7     C#C#         Eb MajorEb
The weight of indecision's in the air


Chorus:
Fm7Fm7   Eb/GEb/G
Standing there
Ebm/Gb       E MajorE         BB
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
      C#C#  Eb MajorEb
It's just a travesty

Fm7Fm7  Eb/GEb/G
Towering
Ebm/Gb      E MajorE         BB
Blocking out the light and blinding me
 C#C#   Eb MajorEb
I want to see
