Dream Theater – The Ministry Of Lost Souls (Guitar Acoustic)

Am              Fm9           C
The water's edge is where she waits

Em              Am
Lost soul still wandering

Am      Fm9             C               G         GAug
Meant to die, but she's stuck not crossing over

Am        Fm9               C
The other side is where he waits

        Em              Am
His spirit reaching out

Am      Fm9                     C               G       GAug
Meant to save, but she's too scared to take his hand

Dm      Am        G                             Dm
Living in a world without you (drowning in the past)

Dm        Am            G
Is living in no world at all

   E             Am
So now I call on you

Am      F               C
Remember me: I gave you life

    Em
You would not take it

Am           F            C
Your suffering was all in vain

     Em         F
It's almost over now

F
Don't turn your back on Paradise

Am      Fm9             C
Feeling scared, she's prepared

    Em          Am
To give up everything

Am        Fm9                C              G           GAug
She can't stand to feel like half of her is fading

Am      Fm9             C
He will choose the only way

   Em             Am
To rid her of her pain

         Fm9           C                 G      GAug
Take her soul now; the decision has been made

Dm      Am        G                             Dm
Living in a world without love (burning into my soul)

Dm        Am             G
Is living in a worthless world

E                 Am
So I will call on you

Am       F              C
Remember me: I gave you life

    Em
You would not take it

Am         F              C
Your suffering was all in vain

     Em
It's almost over

Am       F               C
Remember me; you were so young

    Em
How could I tell you?

Am       F              C
Remember me: I am the one

    E5
Who saved your life that night

F         Am
I was the one who would not

G       Am
Abandon you

F       Am              G                 Am
Even in death I was the one who would not leave you

Dm        Em            F
I used my freedom to protect you

    G               F
And all the while direct you

        G               F
Do you remember me this time?

        Dm               Am
Even in death I gave you life

  Em    
I gave you life

F           Am
I wanted to deserve a place...

F       Am
A place beside you

F                       Am
This time when I reach out my hand

D                  F
It reached all the way to heaven

Am       F              C
Remember me: I gave you life

    Em
You would not take it

Am         F              C
Your suffering was all in vain

     Em
It's almost over now

Am   F          C
Good bye

     Em
It's almost over now

Am   F          C
Good bye

        Em                        F
It's time I release you from this life

F
Don't turn your back on Paradise
