Dream Theater - Through Her Eyes

[Intro]

G5 G/B Em7 Csus2
G5 D Em7 Csus2

[Verse 1]

G5
She never really had a chance
D/F#
On that fateful moonlit night
Em7
Sacrificed without a fight
Csus2
A victim of her circumstance

G5
Now that I’ve become aware
D/F#
And I’ve exposed this tragedy
Em7
A sadness grows inside of me
Csus2
It all seems so unfair

[Chorus]

Em
I’m learning all about my life
D
By looking through her eyes

[Guitar Solo]

G5 G/B Em7 Csus2

[Verse 2]

G5
Just beyond the churchyard gates
D/F#
Where the grass is overgrown
Em7
I saw the writing on her stone
Csus2
I felt like I would suffocate

G5
In loving memory of our child
D/F#
So innocent, eyes open wide
Em7
I felt so empty as I cried
Csus2
Like part of me had died

[Chorus]

Em
I’m learning all about my life
D
By looking through her eyes

[Bridge]

Am
And as her image
C
Wandered through my head
G5
I wept just like a baby
D
As I lay awake in bed

Am
And I know what it’s like
C
To lose someone you love
Em D
And this felt just the same

[Verse 3]

G
She wasn’t given any choice
D/F#
Desperation stole her voice
Em
I’ve been given so much more in life
Csus2
I’ve got a son, I’ve got a wife

G5
I had to suffer one last time
D/F#
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Em7
Relive the anguish of my past
Csus2
To find out who I was at last

[Chorus]

Em D
The door has opened wide
C
I’m turning with the tide
Am
Looking through her eyes

[Outro]
