A#		C	 G
I recall how it used to be
A#	       C
In my younger days
G			
I built a wall all around my heart
    D#	     F     G
To keep the pain away

I built it tall and I built it wide
I left no room for doubt
Your love still found its way inside
And couldn't get back out

Chorus:
G#	      D#       A#
I'm breaking down the barriers
G#      D#    A#
Making up my mind
A#		       C	   G
I'm breaking down the barriers of time
G#	    D#       A#
I'm taking down the barriers
G#	    D#     A#
And loving what I find
A#		       C	    G
I'm breaking down the barriers that lie
    F	      C	       G
Between your love and mine

I guess you know you were not the first
You may not be the last
But you have shown me a better way
And now I'm learning fast

You got to go where the feeling flows
I take it while it's hot
You got to give if you want to get
And I want all you got

Chorus - x2

		   Gm           Gm 
I'm breaking down barriers of time.
		    Gm         D
I'm breaking down barriers of time.
