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