[Intro] w/lead guitar C#m G#m C#m G#m A B/A Amaj7 B/A C#m G#m C#m G#m E D C# F#m C# D# [Verse] w/clavichord

G#m                   
I'm woven in a fantasy, 

D#m/F#
I can't believe the things I see

F#/C#                             Bmaj7           Fm7b5
The path that I have chosen now, has led me to a wall,

Bmaj7          Fm7b5              Ebsus4/Bb        Eb/Bb              Bbsus4    Bb
And with each passing day, I feel little more like something dear was lost

[Chorus]

Bmaj7          C#/B       
It rises now before me, 

Bmaj7           C#           Eb
a dark and silent barrier between...   

Fm7   Eb/G    Ebm/Gb            E           B 
All I am, and all that I would ever want to be

     B      C#        Eb        
It's just a travisty...         

Fm7  Eb/G  Ebm/Gb          E             B      C#    Eb
towering,  marking off the boundaries my spirit 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#/C#                                       Bmaj7              Fm7b5
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side

Bmaj7                Fm7b5          Ebsus4/Bb      Eb/Bb        Bbsus4     Bb
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride

[Chorus 2]

Bmaj7           C#/B       
The moment is a masterpiece 

Bmaj7           C#                Eb
The weight of indecision's in the air

Fm7      Eb/G   Ebm/Gb             E                B
Standing there, the symbol and the sum of all thats me

     B      C#    Eb    
It's just a travisty... 

Fm7  Eb/G  Ebm/Gb           E                  B   
towering,  blocking out the light and blinding me 

  C#      Eb
I want to see

Break... Bmaj7 F#add9/A# Adim7 C#/G#

G#sus             G#
(Crescendo)

Intro guitar again: C#m G#m C#m G#m E D C# D# [Verse 3]

G#m                        
Gold and diamonds cast a spell

D#m/F#
It's not for me I know it well

F#/C#                              Bmaj7         Fm7b5
The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side

Bmaj7                   Fm7b5          Ebsus4/Bb        Eb/Bb           Bbsus4     Bb
There's more than I can measure in the treasures of the love that I can find

[Chorus 3]

Bmaj7                  C#/B       
And though it's always been with me 

Bmaj7                C#              Eb
I must tear down the wall and let it be

Fm7   Eb/G    Ebm/Gb         E             B
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be

   C#    Eb    
In harmony

Fm7     Eb/G     Ebm/Gb           E              B   
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross 

      C#    Eb                
There is no loss,           

Csus   C
ohhhh
