Chord/Lyric The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater

The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater


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# Asus4 A

Is anything certain in life?

A:

They say life is too short the here and the now,

and you're only given one shot.

But could there be more? Have I lived before?

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

(interlude)

D D9 Dsus4 Em .
D D9 Dsus4 Asus4 (drums)

A:

I used to be frightened of dying.

I used to think death was the end.

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

I know that my soul will transcend.


A:


I may never find all the answers,

I may never understand why.

I may never prove what I know to be true,

but I know that I still have to try.


B:

CHORUS:

If I died tomorrow I'd be all right because I believe

G Em D D7

that after we're gone, the spirit carries on


C:

Em Eb

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

D E

because I'm no longer here.

G Em Bm
But please never let your memory of me disappear.

Same chords

A:

Safe in the light that surrounds me.

Free of the fear and the pain.

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

I'll find out what all of this means.

B:

Chorus:


If I died tomorrow I'd be all right because I believe

G Em D

that after we're gone, the spirit carries on
