1. Someone Like Him
Fade in
When I play the intro I use: Fm Dbm Fm Bbm Fm Dbm Fm
Then when the guitar comes in: Fmajor DbM7 Dm7 Db (twice)
Flute solo: | = bar line
Fm | Fm | Fm | Fm | Cm | Bbm | Fm | Eb/G | Ab | C/E | Fm Fm/Eb |
Dm7b5 | Fdim | C/E | C/E
Then:
Fm | Dbm | Fm | Dbm |
Fm Dbm Fm Abm Eb I never wanted to become someone like him, so secure Abm Cm D content to live each day just like the last Bm7b5 I was sure I knew that A Dbm D9 This was not for me A Dbm C And I wanted so much more Em Bb Dm Far beyond what I could see Db So I swore that I'd Bb Dm F#m F#m Never be someone like him Fm Dbm So many years have passed Fm Abm Since I proclaimed Eb My independance Abm My mission Eb My aim Abm And my vision Eb So secure Abm Eb/G D/F# Content to live each day like it's my last Bm7b5 A It's wonderful to know Dbm D9 That I could be A Dbm C Something more than what I dreamed Em Bb Dm Far beyond what I could see Db Bb Still I swear that I'm Db Missing out this time E/B A/B As far as I could tell E/B B There's nothing more I need E/B A/B But still I ask myself Em/B B Could this be everything G Then all I swore Bb Bb/F D/A That I would never be was now F#m/C# So suddenly Am/E The only thing Em I wanted D To become Dm/F A To be someone just like him
The timing might not be perfect but the chords are definitely correct.
To see my version of Someone Like Him (starting from flute solo) go to:
2. Mediate (awakening)
Bass solo then: A | Dm/F | A |Dm/F
A Dm/F A doctor sitting next to me A He asked me how I feel Dm/F Not sure I understand his questioning A Dm/F He says I've been away a while F#m But thinks he has cured me F From a state of catatonic sleep D F For 30 years A Where have I been D/F# Eyes open F A But not getting through to me A Medicate me Am/F Infiltrate me A/F# Dm Side effects appear A As my conscience slips away A Medicate me Am/F Science failing A/F# Dm Conscience fading fast A | Dm/F | A | Dm/F Can't you stop what's happening A Dm/F A higher dosage he prescribes A But there's no guarantee Dm/F I feel it starting to take over me A Dm/F I tell him not to be ashamed F#m There's no one who's to blame F A second shot, A brief awakening D F I feel the relapse A Can't break free D/F# Eyes open F A But not getting through to me A Medicate me Am/F Infiltrate me A/F# Dm Side effects appear A As my conscience slips away A Medicate me Am/F Science failing A/F# Dm Conscience fading fast A Can't you stop what's happening
The chords definitely sound right when you play it but I don’t think
they’re exactly the same as the Dream Theater version. My version of
