            THE SILENT MAN - Dream Theater (Awake)
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)


[VERSE]

G               D           
A question well served, 
   Em/C#          Cadd9   Csus4
Is silence like a fever?
G             D  
A voice never heard?  
     Em/C#             Cadd9    Csus4
Or a message with no receiver?


[PRE-CHORUS]

Em   Em9        Am7    Em11/A          Em    Em9
Pray they won't ask behind the stained glass
D11/C          D/C
There's always one more mask


[VERSE]

G              D             
Has man been a victim 
       Em/C#         Cadd9   Csus4
Of his woman, of his father?
G                   D              
If he elects not to bother 
        Em/C#           Cadd9   Csus4
Will he suffocate their faith?


[PRE-CHORUS]

Em   Em9     Am7     Em11/A        Em   Em9
Desperate to fall behind the Great Wall
D11/C    D/C
That separates us all


[CHORUS]

E             F#m       A          B
When there is reason, tonight I'm awake
E               F#m     A          B      E   Eadd9  E
When there's no answer, arrive the silent man
E           F#m        A           B
If there is balance, tonight He's awake
   E            F#m           A        B      E  Eadd9 E
If they have to suffer, there lies the silent man


[INTERLUDE]

D          Bb/D       
G/D   D*   C/D     Gadd11  G/A   

D/F#       Bbsus2  Csus4   C       
G/D   D*   C/D     Gadd11  G/A

G     D    Em/C#   Cadd9   Csus4



[PRE-CHORUS]

Em9           Am7        Em11/A        Em      Em9
Sin without deceivers, a God with no believers
        D11/C          D/C
I could sail by on the winds of silence
    Em               Cadd9
And maybe they won't notice
         D
But this time I think it'd be better if I swim


E             F#m       A         B
When there is reason, tonight I'm awake
E               F#m     A          B      E   Eadd9  E
When there's no answer, arrive the silent man
E           F#m        A          B
If there is balance, tonight He's awake
   E            F#m           A        B      E  Eadd9 E
If they have to suffer, there lies the silent man
      A        B      E  
There lies the silent man
