verse 1:
D A Em
Well, I don't know how to say this right
G D
And the words got me chokin'
A Em
I keep hittin' this wall, It's never gonna fall
G D
And we're still broken
A Em
This mountain we've been trying to climb
G
It's never-ending
D A
Just can't do nothin', Gotta do something
Em
'Cause if we don't open up our eyes
G D
We're just pretending
pre-chorus:
C G
Well, there's a time for givin' up
Em G
Didn't want to have to say it
C G
All we doin' is building walls
A
And now there's too many barriers
chorus:
D A
Here we are lying here
Em G
It's our last final goodnight
D A
Just because it feels so good
Em G
No use pretending we're alright
D A
Too many locks, too many crimes
Em G
Too many tears, too many lies
D Em
Too many barriers
A
Ohhh
D
Just too many barriers
A - Em - G

verse 2:
D A Em
Now we've been draggin' this whole thing out
G D
But I can't wait any longer
A Em
Our love's burning down, Creepin' in the doubt
G D
We're not getting any stronger
A Em
I hear you say that we're doin' OK
G
But, baby, I don't think so
D A
Just can't do nothin', gotta do something
Em
'Cause if I don't get into my car
G D
I won't go very far.
Repeat pre-chorus
Repeat chorus
bridge:
A D
Just too many barriers
A
That we keep running into
Em G
Been tryin', but we just can't break through
D A
I know I'm gonna keep wishing I was with you
Em G
But we just gotta stop
D A
Here we are lying here
Em G
It's our last final goodnight
D A
Just because it feels so good
Em G
No use pretending we're alright
D A
Too many locks, too many crimes
Em G
Too many tears, too many lies
D
Too many barriers
D A
And you hurry to get somewhere
Em G
And the road's tryin' to block ya, block ya
D A
And you feel like you're nowhere
Em G
'Cause the world's tryin' to stop ya, stop ya
D
Too many barriers
