Octavarium Dream Theater
Dream Theater- Octavarium
arranged for piano
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] I neve[C#m]r wanted to be[Fm]come someone like [Abm]him, so se[Eb]cure
con[Ab]tent to live each [Cm]day just like the [D]last
I was [Bm7b5]sure I knew that
[A]This was [C#m]not for [D9]me
And I [A]wanted s[C#m]o much more[C]
Far beyon[Em]d what I could [Bb]see[Dm]
So I [C#]swore that I'd
[Bb]Never be [Dm]someone like [F#m]him[F#m]
[Fm] So many [C#m]years have passed
[Fm]Since I pro[Abm]claimed
My inde[Eb]pendance
My [Abm]mission
My [Eb]aim
And my [Abm]vision
So sec[Eb]ure
Con[Abm]tent to live each [Eb/G]day like it's my [D/F#]last
It's [Bm7]wonderful to [A]know
That I[C#m] could [D9]be
[A]Something more than [C#m]what I [C]dreamed
Far [Em]beyond what I could [Bb]see[Dm]
Still I [C#]swear that I'm[Bb]
Missing [C#]out this time
As [E/B]far as I could [A/B]tell
There's [E/B]nothing more I [B]need
But [E/B]still I ask [A/B]myself
Could [Em/B]this be everyth[B]ing
Then [B]all I swore
That [Bb]I would [Bb/F]never [D/A]be was now
So [F#m/C#]suddenly
The [Am/E]only thing
I [Em]wanted
To [D]become
To be [Dm/F]someone just like him[A]
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] A doctor sitting next to [Dm/F]me
He asked me how I [A]feel
Not sure I under[Dm/F]stand his questioning
[A] He says I've been away a [Dm/F]while
But thinks he has cured [F#m]me
[F]
[D] For 30 [F]years
Where have I [A]been
[D/F#] Eyes open
But [F]not getting through to [A]me
[A]Medicate me
[Am/F]Infiltrate me
[A/F#]Side effects ap[Am/F]pear
As my conscience slips [A]away
[A]Medicate me
[Am/F]Science failing
[A/F#]Conscience fading [Am/F]fast
A | Dm/F | A | Dm/F(stop and sustain-1 bar)
Can't you stop what's happening
[A] A higher dosage he pres[Dm/F]cribes
But there's no guaran[A]tee
I feel it starting [Dm/F]to take over me
[A] I tell him not to be as[Dm/F]hamed
There's no one who's to [F#m]blame
A second shot, A [F]brief awakening
[D] I feel th[F]e relapse
Can't break [A]free
[D/F#] Eyes open
But not[F] getting through to [A]me
[A]Medicate me
[Am/F]Infiltrate me
[A/F#]Side effects app[Am/F]ear
As my conscience slips a[A]way
[A]Medicate me
[Am/F]Science failing
[A/F#]Conscience fading [Am/F]fast
Can't you stop what's happen[A]ing
The chords definitely sound right when you play it but I donâ??t think
theyâ??re exactly the same as the Dream Theater version. My version of
