Dreamtheater - The Spirit Carries On

D
Where did we come from? Why are we here?
G                                        D
Where do we go when we die?
F#m                       Bm
What lies beyond? What lay before?
G                                A
Is anything certain in life?

A:

D
They say life is too short the here and the now,
G                                         D
and you’re only given one shot.
Fm#                                  Bm
But could there be more? Have I lived before?
G                                               A
Or could this be all that we’ve got?

B:
Chorus: 
G             A                          D        F#m       Bm       
If I die tomorrow, I’d be all right because I believe
                           G            A                 D
that after we’re gone, the spirit carries on

A:
D
I used to be frightened of dying.
G                                            D
I used to think death was the end.
F#m                                       Bm
But that was before, I’m not scared anymore.
G                                             A
I know that my soul will transcend.

A:
D
I may never find all the answers,
G                                    D
I may never understand why.
F#m                                  Bm
I may never prove what I know to be true,
        G                                     A
but I know that I still have to try.

B:
CHORUS:
G              A                          D      F#m        Bm
If I died tomorrow I’d be all right because I believe
G                                       A                 D
that after we’re gone, the spirit carries on

C:
Em                                     D#
Move on, be brave! Don’t weep at my grave!
D                                  E
because I’m no longer here.
G                                       A                           Bm
But please never let your memory of me disappear.

Safe in the light that surrounds me.
G                                   D
Free of the fear and the pain.
F#m                                  Bm
The question in mind has helped me to find
G                                    A
the meaning in my life again.

A:
 D                        F#m
Victoria’s real! I finally feel
 G                                      D
at peace with the girl in my dreams.
 F#m                                    Bm
And now that I’m here, it’s perfectly clear
G                              A
I’ll find out what all of this means.

B:
Chorus:
G              A                           D         F#m        Bm
If I died tomorrow I’d be all right because I believe
                         G              A                  D
that after we’re gone, the spirit carries on
