The chords are the closest to the song itself, no simplification here, and the intro solo and main solo have been included along with a transcription for the piano and vibraphone in the bridge section and the melody for the outro. This is how I play it. If any mistakes, please let me know and I will promptly fix it.Was this info helpful?

[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
