This is my first transcription. I handed this one in, because I think the other
versions of this song are pretty shitty!!! So, hope you like it, itīs not that hard...
original key is C#m, but this oneīs easier to sing in my opinion...
Replica Sonata Arctica
Verse 1:
Am C G F
I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind your door.
Am C G F
I tried so hard to obey the law, and see the meaning of this all.
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Am C
Remember me? Before the war. I'm the man who lived next door.
Am G
Long ago...
Verse 2:
Am C G F
As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of what I used to be.
Am C G F
It's easier when you don't see me standing on my own two feet.
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Am C
I'm taller when I sit here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Am G
They made me a heart of steel, the kind them bullets cannot see.

Verse 3:
Am C G F
The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill the hole in me.
Am C G F
I had no name, last December, Christmas Eve I can't remember.
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Am C
I was in a constant pain, I saw your shadow in the rain.
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Am G
I painted all your pictures red, I wish I had stayed home instead.
REPEAT CHORUS

F C G F Am
Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over

Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...

Bridge 1:
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Am C
Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep my home base clean.
Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/Bb Am
Now I'm here and won't go back believe.
Verse 3:
Am C G F
I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in the silent stream.

No-one placing blame on me, but nothing's what it seems to be, yeah!!
REPEAT CHORUS
