Dream Theater – Surrounded (Guitar)

D*                Cadd9
Morning comes too early,

    D*                    Cadd9
And night time falls too late

    Am              G             C
And sometimes all I want to do is wait

    Am               G
The shadow I've been hiding in

    Bm7             Am7    Cmaj7
Has fled from me today

             D
I know it's easier

   Bm7                            Em
To walk away than look it in the eye.

    Am              G                 C
But I will raise a shelter to the sky

    Am                G                   C
And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie

Am               G
She will slowly yield the light

   C          D
As I awaken from the longest night

G                                       C
Dreams are shaking set sirens waking up tired eyes

         D                                 F
With the light the memories all rush into his head.

     G                             C
By a candle stands a mirror of his heart and soul she dances

         D                                  F
She was dancing through the night above his bed.

    C/G
And walking to the window

   D                                        G
He throws the shutters out against the wall

    C/G                           D
And from an ivory tower hears her call

              G            C      D      Cadd11
"Let light surround you"

G                                       C
It's been a long, long time, he's had a while to think it over

       D
In the end he only sees the change

         F
Light to dark, dark to light

G
Heaven must be more than this

     C
When angels waken with a kiss

D
Sacred hearts won't take the pain

    F
But mine will never be the same

   C/G
He stands before the window

    D                             G
His shadow slowly fading from the wall

    C/G                              D
And from an ivory tower he hears her call

                  G
"Let the light surround you"

Am                   D    
Once I was but I was found.

       Em
When I heard the stained glass

G*           A         Am
Shatter all around me.

  C                G                 Am       G
I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill

           Em               G*     A
But I will hold this one on high above me still

    Am                Bm7
She whispers words to clear my mind.

  C                    D               G        
I once could see but now at last, I'm blind.

            D
I know it's easier

   Bm7                            Em7
To walk away than look it in the eye.

    Am           G                C
But I have given all that I could take.

    Am            G              C
And now I've only habits left to break.

  Am                  G             C
Tonight I'll still be lying here surrounded

   D       G
In all the light.
