A Life Left Behind Chords & Lyrics - Dream Theater

[VERSES]
[A]I never knew
Someone was [G]out there
A long way from no[Bm]where [D]
Who could open my [Asus4]eyes [A] [G] [D/F#]

[A]All of this time
While I was sl[Em]eeping
The world changed aro[F]und me
Now I[Em]'ve never felt more [Asus4]alive [A]

[E]I'm waking [A]up
From a life left be[Em]hind
To see what l[Dmaj7]ies ahead [F]
I'm wak[E]ing [Asus4]up [A]

[A]Faythe found a way
To bring them to[G]gether
Once and fo[Bm]rever [D]
And won't let them [Asus4]go [A] [G] [D/F#]

[A]Nothing I say
Can keep her from le[Em]aving
Her life has new[F] meaning
I l[Em]ost her a long time [Asus4]ago [A]

[E]I'm waking [A]up
From a life left be[Em]hind
To see what [Dmaj7]lies ahead [F]
I'm w[E]aking [Asus4]up [A]

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

[C]I'll plan to return well[A] disguised
[C]Make sure that I'm not r[Em]ecognized
Tomo[F]rrow a new sun will [Am]rise
And somehow I'll f[G]ind you

[Dm]Nothing will s[C]tand in my [Bdim]way
[A#b5]Soon I will see you ag[Esus4]ain [E]

I'm waking [A]up
From a life left be[Em]hind
To see what [Dmaj7]lies ahead [F]
I'm w[E]aking [Asus4]up [A]

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

[G] [D/F#]

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

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

[Bm]Heed my [G#dim]words
[D#m]Justice w[D]ill be [D#m]served.
