Dream Theater

Biography:

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to concentrate further on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remained together until September 8, 2010, when Portnoy left the band. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent drummer on April 29, 2011.

1. Someone Like Him

Fade in
When I play the intro I use: Fm C#m Fm Bbm Fm C#m Fm

Then when the guitar comes in: Fmajor DbM7 Dm7 Db (twice)

Flute solo: | = bar line

Fm | Fm | Fm | Fm | Cm | Bbm | Fm | Eb/G | Ab | C/E | Fm Fm/Eb |
Dm7b5 | Fdim | C/E | C/E

Then:

Fm | C#m | Fm | C#m |

Fm C#m Fm Abm Eb
I never wanted to become someone like him, so secure
Ab Cm D
content to live each day just like the last
Bm7b5
I was sure I knew that
A C#m D9
This was not for me
A C#m C
And I wanted so much more
Em Bb Dm
Far beyond what I could see
C#
So I swore that I'd
Bb Dm F#m F#m
Never be someone like him


Fm C#m
So many years have passed
Fm Abm
Since I proclaimed
Eb
My independance
Abm
My mission
Eb
My aim
Abm
And my vision
Eb
So secure
Abm Eb/G D/F#
Content to live each day like it's my last
Bm7 A
It's wonderful to know
C#m D9
That I could be
A C#m C
Something more than what I dreamed
Em Bb Dm
Far beyond what I could see
C# Bb
Still I swear that I'm
C#
Missing out this time


E/B A/B
As far as I could tell
E/B B
There's nothing more I need
E/B A/B
But still I ask myself
Em/B B
Could this be everything
B
Then all I swore
Bb Bb/F D/A
That I would never be was now
F#m/C#
So suddenly
Am/E
The only thing
Em
I wanted
D
To become
Dm/F A
To be someone just like him


the timing might not be perfect but the chords are definately correct
to see my version of someone like (starting from flute solo) him go to:

2. Mediate (awakening)

Bass solo then: A | Dm/F | A |Dm/F

A Dm/F
A doctor sitting next to me
A
He asked me how I feel
Dm/F
Not sure I understand his questioning
A Dm/F
He says I've been away a while
F#m
But thinks he has cured me
F
From a state of catatonic sleep


D F
For 30 years
A
Where have I been
D/F#
Eyes open
F A
But not getting through to me


A
Medicate me
Am/F
Infiltrate me
A/F# Am/F
Side effects appear
A
As my conscience slips away
A
Medicate me
Am/F
Science failing
A/F# Am/F
Conscience fading fast
A | Dm/F | A | Dm/F(stop and sustain-1 bar)
Can't you stop what's happening


A Dm/F
A higher dosage he prescribes
A
But there's no guarantee
Dm/F
I feel it starting to take over me
A Dm/F
I tell him not to be ashamed
F#m
There's no one who's to blame
F
A second shot, A brief awakening


D F
I feel the relapse
A
Can't break free
D/F#
Eyes open
F A
But not getting through to me


A
Medicate me
Am/F
Infiltrate me
A/F# Am/F
Side effects appear
A
As my conscience slips away
A
Medicate me
Am/F
Science failing
A/F# Am/F
Conscience fading fast
A
Can't you stop what's happening


The chords definitely sound right when you play it but I don’t think
they’re exactly the same as the Dream Theater version. My version of
everything on this page is at:
