Artist: 3
Song: The Barrier
Album: The Ghost You Gave to Me (c)2010
Key: G major
Tuning: Standard
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.)

Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) Did I draw the heavens down? Drape my arms around? An angel in flight?
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Looking like you love me still As you kill me goodbye
Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) As you're parachuting to the ground, watching me go down
D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Abandoned in flight You left me to die
Chorus
Dsus2
Somehow, the chiming of shadows reminds me of you
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) The haunted and hollow, the light passing through
Dsus2
The sound of your sorrow on the echoes of blue
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) Down a wind water tunnel, at the turn of a screw
A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) Doing all that you can do to be the wall I'm walking through
Verse 2:
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Whispers in the dark Can I steal you tonight?
Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1) From the wreckage piled high, we'll climb back to the sky
D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Leap from the ledge, full of faith we can fly
Chorus:
Dsus2
So come on, reanimate, angel, break from your cage
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) Witness the prophecy sprung from the page
Dsus2
The moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) The mask in the mirror, the monster within
A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) D7 (xx0212@1) But the barrier is thin and the room begins to spin
Solo:
Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1)D7 (xx0212@1)G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)Chorus 3:
Dsus2
Don't you know that the war has blown over? We weathered the storm
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) The grass has grown over the graves that we mourn
Dsus2
Now the brightness is teeming, the chains slip away
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) The wolf in the wool is no longer at bay
Dsus2
The portal is open, the walls disappear
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) Jump through the hoop and the hell out of here
Dsus2
A song in a box on wheels we have blown
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) Glides on the back of a snake made of stone
Dsus2
Through shadows unfolding and clouds fallen slack
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) At the edge of tomorrow with no turning back
Dsus2
Reanimate, angel, break from your cage
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) Witness the prophecy sprung from the page
Dsus2
The moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) The mask in the mirror, the master within
Dsus2
Oh, but I've seen your sorrow at the edge of the screen
C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) Soften the focus and into a dream
Brief instrumental:

Dsus2 (xx0230@1) C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) But the barrier is thin, and the room begins to spin
Dsus2 (xx0230@1) C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1)
The barrier is thin, and the room begins to spin
Dsus2 (xx0230@1) C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) The moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin
Dsus2 (xx0230@1) C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1) The portal is open, and the kingdom is within
