Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
D                       D/F♯
Where did we come from? Why are we here?
  G                     D/F♯   F♯m
Where do we go when we die?
  Bm                D/A
What lies beyond? What lay before?
   E                    Asus4   A
Is anything certain in life?
          D                     D/F♯
They say life is too short the here and the now,
     G                      D/F♯   F♯m
and you're only given one shot.
  Bm                          D/A
But could there be more? Have I lived before?
    E                            Asus4   A
Or could this be all that we’ve got?



G           A
If I die tomorrow, 
          D       F♯m       Bm
I'd be alright because I believe
     D/A          G
That after we're gone, 
      Em           D   D/F♯  G  Em  D  D/F♯  G  Asus4  A
The spirit carries on.



  D                         D/F♯
I used to be frightened of dying.
  G                           D/F♯   F♯m
I used to think death was the end.
      Bm                       D/A
But that was before, I'm not scared anymore.
    E                          Asus4   A
I know that my soul will transcend.
   D                     D/F♯
I may never find all the answers,
   G                     D/F♯   F♯m
I may never understand why.
   Bm                      D/A
I may never prove what I know to be true,
        E                         Asus4   A
but I know that I still have to try.



G            A
If I died tomorrow 
          D       F♯m       Bm
I'd be alright because I believe
     D/A          G
That after we're gone,
      Em           D   D7 
The spirit carries on.




 Em                       D♯
Move on, be brave! Don’t weep at my grave!
   D                    E
Because I am no longer here.
      G                    Em
But please never let your memory of me disappear.

the meaning in my life again.
