Verse 1:
G#m
I'm woven in a fantasy
D#m/F#
I can't believe the things I see
F#
The path that I have chosen now
Bmaj7      Fm7b5/B
Has led me to a wall
Bmaj7         Fm7b5/B
And with each passing day
Ebsus4/Bb         Eb/Bb       Bbsus4   Bb
I feel a little more like something dear was lost


Pre-Chorus:
Bmaj7     C#/B
It rises now before me
Bmaj7       C#     Eb
A dark and silent barrier between


Chorus:
Fm7  Eb/G
All I am
Ebm/Gb        E      B
And all that I would ever want to be
B      C#  Eb
It's just a travesty

Fm7  Eb/G
Towering
Ebm/Gb     E       B
Marking off the boundaries my spirit
C#  Eb
Would erase


Verse 2:
G#m
To pass beyond is what I seek
D#m/F#
I fear that I may be too weak
F#
And those are few who've seen it through
Bmaj7        Fm7b5/B
To glimpse the other side
Bmaj7        Fm7b5/B
The promised land is waiting
Ebsus4/Bb       Eb/Bb    Bbsus4   Bb
Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride


Pre Chorus:
Bmaj7      C#/B
The moment is a masterpiece
Bmaj7     C#         Eb
The weight of indecision's in the air


Chorus:
Fm7   Eb/G
Standing there
Ebm/Gb       E         B
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
      C#  Eb
It's just a travesty

Fm7  Eb/G
Towering
Ebm/Gb      E         B
Blocking out the light and blinding me
 C#   Eb
I want to see


Bridge:

Verse 3:
G#
Gold and diamonds cast a spell
D#m/F#
It's not for me, I know it well
F#
The riches that I seek are waiting
Bmaj7    Fm7b5/B
On the other side
Bmaj7          Fm7b5/B
There's more than I can measure
Ebsus4/Bb        Eb/Bb      Bbsus4   Bb
In the treasures of the love that I can find


Pre Chorus:
Bmaj7         C#/B
And though it's always been with me
Bmaj7        C#       Eb
I must tear down the wall and let it be


Chorus:
Fm7  Eb/G
All I am
Ebm/Gb       E       B
And all that I was ever meant to be
  C#  Eb
In harmony

Fm7   Eb/G
Shining true
Ebm/Gb       E        B
And smiling back at all who wait to cross
   C#  Eb
There is no loss

Outro:
Csus4   C
