Barstool Warrior - Dream Theater
(Distance Over Time, 2019)

[verso 1]
sol la si si si si si si
In a dark and lonely corner
si si si la la sol la
Of a time - worn dockside inn
mi fa# sol sol sol sol sol sol
Sits a local Barstool Warrior
sol la la sol la
Talking to his gin
si si si la si si
Tracing past decisions
RE RE DO DO si la
He motions for a shot
mi fa# sol sol sol la si la sol mi la
Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
la sol la la la si si DO DO RE RE
Just a prisoner of the monster on his back

[refrão]
DO RE MI MI DO MI RE
Call it bad luck, call it fate
DO DO FA FA FA FA MI RE FA
Call it stuck here the rest of my days
DO MI MI
Serves me right
DO SOL SOL
What went wrong?
DO SOL FA RE# SOL FA
And where do I belong?

[verso 2]
DO RE MI MI MI MI MI
In the glow of flashing lights
MI MI MI RE RE si si - RE
On the shoulder of the road
FA# FA# FA# FA# SOL FA# FA# MI MI
Clutching at the bruises on her skin
si MI MI MI MI MI MI
She tries to signal danger
SOL SOL FA# FA# MI MI
With anguish in her eyes
FA# FA# FA# FA# SOL FA# SOL LA LA
Will he see the world of pain she's in?
la la si DO RE
Or is it too late?

[refrão]
DO RE MI MI DO MI RE
Was it bad luck? Was it fate?
DO DO FA FA FA FA MI RE FA
Or a past that she couldn't escape?
DO MI MI DO SOL SOL
It's not right, something's wrong
DO SOL FA RE# SOL FA
Just where do I belong?

[ponte]

Promises made, crying in vain , all empty
RE RE RE RE DO la# RE
Never accepting the blame

And not letting go of the shame
la# la# DO RE RE la# la# DO RE RE# RE RE DO
A river of tears as months turn to years, all wasted
la# RE RE RE RE DO la# RE
On someone not willing to change
la# RE# RE# RE# RE# RE DO DO
Now only a shadow remains
LA LA# FA FA la#
No one can save you
la# DO FA RE# RE DO
And there's no one to save
LA LA# FA FA la#
It has been written
FA RE# RE FA RE# RE SOL You will become all you think
RE# DO RE# RE FA# SOL
All you feel, all you dream

[outro]
SOL SOL SOL FA# FA# FA# MI RE MI
Now I'm cutting the anchor away
RE LA SOL RE# RE
And I won't look back
SOL LA LA LA LA SOL FA SOL
I'm starting a new life today
RE# SOL FA FA LA FA SOL
Now I see where I belong
