What lies beyond

And what lay before?

They say, "Life is too short,"

But could there be more,

Have I lived before,

If I die tomorrow

# [D,Gbm,G,D,Gbm,Bm,Bm7,E7,A]


I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

G          A
If I die tomorrow
          D
I'd be allright
  Gbm       Bm
Because I believe
                 G
That after we're gone
    A              D   D7
The spirit carries on

Em
Move on, be brave
      Daug
Don't weep at my grave
  D                    E7
Because I am no longer here
    G
But please never let
     A                 Bm
Your memory of me disappear


# [Bm,Bb,D,Gbm,G,A]


Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
