A Life Left Behind chords by Dream Theater

A
I never knew
            G
Someone was out there
                  Bm      D
A long way from nowhere
                  Asus4   A   G  D/F#
Who could open my eyes


A
All of this time
              Em
While I was sleeping
                     F
The world changed around me
     Em                  Asus4   A
Now I've never felt more alive

E          A
I'm waking up
                   Em
From a life left behind
             Dmaj7       F
To see what lies ahead
       E   Asus4 A
I'm waking up

A
Faythe found a way
                G
To bring them together
           Bm     D
Once and forever
                   Asus4   A   G  D/F#
And won't let them go

A
Nothing I say
                    Em
Can keep her from leaving
                F
Her life has new meaning
   Em                  Asus4   A
I lost her a long time ago


E          A
I'm waking up
                   Em
From a life left behind
            Dmaj7       F
To see what lies ahead
     E     Asus4  A
I'm waking up

E          A
I'm waking up
                     Em
Now that yesterday's gone
               Dmaj7      F
Won't close my eyes again
     E     Asus4  A
I'm waking up


C                       A
I'll plan to return well disguised
C                       Em
Make sure that I'm not recognized
    F                   Am
Tomorrow a new sun will rise
                  G
And somehow I'll find you

Dm            C          Bdim
Nothing will stand in my way
A#b5                  Esus4    E
Soon I will see you again


           A
I'm waking up
                   Em
From a life left behind
            Dmaj7       F
To see what lies ahead
     E     Asus4  A
I'm waking up

E          A
I'm waking up (I'm waking up)
                     Em
Now that yesterday's gone (Now that yesterday's gone)
               Dmaj7                         F
Won't close my eyes again (I will never look back)
     E     Asus4  A
I'm waking up

G  D/F#

Em                           Bm
You'll be her shadow as she moves, my son
Em                        Bm
But she can never know you're there
Ebm                    A          Dbm     Eb
She is alone and rebel guards are everywhere

A                           G#m
I'll keep her safe from all danger
A                       D#m
Won't let her out of my sight
    B                    D#m
Did I fail to mention my honest intentions?
A                     G#m
This is the chance I deserve

Bm      G#dim
Heed my words
D#m      D      D#m
