Dream Theater - Surrounded
Originally in G, I play in A capo 2
Asus2Dadd9Asus2Dadd9
Vox start on the 3, use the *low 3* unless you are a cyborg
Asus2Morning comes too Dadd9early
Asus2And nighttime falls too lDadd9ate
And Bmsometimes all I Asus2want to do is Dadd9wait
The Bmshadow I’ve been Asus2hiding in
Has C#m7fled from me todBm7ay
Dmaj7I know it’s eE/Dasier
To C#m7walk away than look it in the eF#m7ye
But BmI will raise a sAsus2helter to the skyDadd9
And Bmhere beneath this Asus2star tonight I’ll liDadd9e
Bm7She will slowly yA/C#ield the light
As Dadd9I awaken frE11om the longest night
One measure of 9/8 for each chord, first two times soft
AD/AE/AG/Ax2
Now rock out, still in 9/8
AD/AE/AG/A
Still in 9/8
ADreams are shaking set sirens waking up D/Atired eyes
With the E/Alight the memories all rush into his head G/A
Now in 4/4
By a Acandle stands a mirror of his D/Aheart and soul she dances
She was dE/Aancing through the night above his G/Abed
And D/F#walking to the window
He Esus4throws the shutters out against the wall
AAsus4AAsus2
And D/F#from an ivory tower hears her Esus4call
Let light surAround you
Back to 9/8
AD/AE/AG/A
Still in 9/8
AIt’s been a long, long time, he’s had a D/Awhile to think it over
In the E/Aend he only sees the change
Light to dark, G/Adark to light, light to dark, dark to light
Back in 4/4
AHeaven must be more than this
When D/Aangels waken with a kiss
E/ASacred hearts won’t take the pain
But G/Amine will never be the same
He D/F#stands before the window
His Esus4shadow slowly fading from the Awall
And D/F#from an ivory tower he hears her Esus4call
Let the light surAround you
AD/AE/AG/Ax2

Bm7Once I was but I was E/G#found
When I F#mheard the stained glass
F#m/EShatter all aB/D#round me
I Dadd9sent the spirits A/C#tumbling down the Bm7hill A
But I will F#mhold this one on F#m/Ehigh abB/D#ove me sBtill
She Bmwhispers words to A/C#clear my mind
I Dadd9once could see but noEsus4w at last, I’m bAlind
Dmaj7I know it’s E/Deasier
To C#m7walk away than look it in the eF#m7ye
But BmI have given A/C#all that I could Dadd9take
And Bmnow I’ve only A/C#habits left to Dadd9break
ToBmnight I’ll still be A/C#lying here surDadd9rounded
In Esus4all Ethe Asus2light
