SPIRIT CARRIES ON (dream theater)

A:
D D/F#

Where did we come from? Why are we here?

G D D/C#

Where do we go when we die?

Bm Bm/A

What lies beyond? What lay before?

E/G# A4 A

Is anything certain in life?

A:
D D/F#
They say life is too short the here and the now,

G D D/C#
and you're only given one shot.

Bm Bm/A
But could there be more? Have I lived before?

E/G# A4 A
Or could this be all that we've got?

B:

Chorus:

G A D D/C# Bm
If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe

G Em D
that after we're gone, the spirit carries on

A:

D D/F#
I used to be frightened of dying.

G D D/C#
I used to think death was the end.

Bm Bm/A
But that was before, I'm not scared anymore.


E/G# A4 A
I know that my soul will transcend.


A:


D D/F#
I may never find all the answers,

G D D/C#
I may never understand why.

Bm Bm/A
I may never prove what I know to be true,

E/G# A4 A
but I know that I still have to try.


B:

CHORUS:


G A D D/C# Bm

C:

Move on, be brave! Don't weep at my grave!

D E

because I'm no longer here.

But please never let your memory of me disappear.

Safe in the light that surrounds me.

Free of the fear and the pain.

Bm Bm/A
The question in mind has helped me to find

the meaning in my life again.


A:

Victoria's real! I finally feel

at peace with the girl in my dreams.

And now that I'm here, it's perfectly clear

E/G# A4 A
I'll find out what all of this means.
