Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On Chords by Dream Theater

[D] Where did we come from?
Why are we here? _
[G] Where do we go when [D] we die? _ _ _ _
[Bm] What lies beyond [D] and what lay before? _
[E] Is anything certain [A] in life?
_ _ [D] [A] They [D] say life is too short, the here and the now, [G] and you're only given one [D] shot.
_ [A] Could [D] _
[Bm] _ there be [C#] more?
[Bm]
Have I lived before?
[E] Or could this be all that we've [D] got?
_ [A] _ _ _
[G] If I died [A] tomorrow, _ I'd be [D] alright, because I [Bm] believe that after [G] we're gone, _ _ _
[Em] _ _ the spirit [D] carries on. _ _ _

[D] I used to be frightened of dying. _ _ _
[G] I used to think death was [D] the end.
_ [F#m] _ _ _
[Bm] That was before.
I'm not scared anymore.
[A] _
[E] I know that my soul will [A] transcend.
_ [D] I _ _ may never find all the answers. _ _
[G] I may never _ understand [D] why. _ _ _ _
[Bm] I may never prove what [D] I know to be true, but I [E] know that I still have [A] to try. _ _ _ _
[G] If I died _
[A] tomorrow, _ I'd be [D] alright, because I [Bm] believe that after [G] we're gone, _ _ _
[A] the spirit _ _ [D] carries on. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] Move _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ away, [D] because I'm _ _
[E] here. _ _ _ _
[G] Please never let [F#]
[E] your _ [Em] memory _ [A] _

[D] _ in the light that surrounds me. _ _
[G] Free of the fear and [D] the pain.
_ [A] _ _
[Bm] My questioning _ mind [D] has helped me to [Bm] find [E] the meaning in my life [A] _ again. _ _ _
[D] _ Victoria _ screams.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[Bm] Now that I'm here, it's perfectly clear. _
[E] This _ _ _ _
[A] _ man. _ _ _
[G] If I died [A] tomorrow, _ I'd be [D] _ alright, _ _ _
[Bm] _ because I believe [A] that after [G] we're _ _ gone,
