[Verse]

D                       D/F#

Where did we come from, Why are we here?

G                      D     D/C#

Where do we go when we die?

Bm                Bm/A

What lies beyond, And what lay before?

   E/G#                A

Is anything certain in life?

           D                        D/F#

They say, "Life is too short", "The here and the now"

     G                     D      D/C#

And "You're only given one shot"

    B5                        Bm/A

But could there be more, Have I lived before,

   E/G#                         Asus4    A

Or could this be all that we've got?

[Chorus]

G          A                  D       D/C#      Bm

If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe

                 G         Em             D

That after we're gone, The spirit carries on

[Instrumental]

D    A/D    G     Em

D    A/D    G     Asus4    A

[Verse]

  D                        D/F#

I used to be frightened of dying

  G                           D     D/C#

I used to think death was the end

    Bm                       Bm/A

But that was before, I'm not scared anymore

  E/G#                       A

I know that my soul will transcend

  D                      D/F#

I may never find all the answers

  G                    D     D/C#

I may never understand why

  Bm                     Bm/A

I may never prove what I know to be true

      E                         A

But I know that I still have to try

[Chorus]

G            A                D       D/C#      Bm

If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe

                 G         A     (ORGAN)  D     C/D

That after we're gone, The spirit carries on

Em                 D#                        D                    E

Move on, be brave, Don't weep at my grave, because I am no longer here

    G                     Em                Bm

But please never let your memory of me disappear

D                      D (LOWER INVERSION)

Safe in the light that surrounds me

G                        D    D/C#

Free of the fear and the pain

    Bm                    Bm/A

The question in mind, Has helped me to find

    E/G#                A

The meaning in my life again

   D               D/C#

Victoria's real, I finally feel

   G                         D

At peace with the girl in my dreams

    Bm                      Bm/A

And now that I'm here, it's perfectly clear

  E/G#                       Asus4  A

I found out what all of this means

[Chorus]

G          A                  D       D/C#      Bm    Bm/A

If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe

                 G         Em             D

That after we're gone, The spirit carries on

D     A/D    G    Asus4  A
