the timing might not be perfect but the chords are definately correct

2.	Mediate (awakening)

Bass solo then: A | Dm/F | A |Dm/F

A (x02220@1)                         Dm/F
   A doctor sitting next to me
                  AHe (x02220@1)asked me how I feel
                Dm/F
Not sure I understand his questioning
A (x02220@1)                         Dm/F
   He says I've been away a while
                        F#mBut (244222@1)thinks he has cured me
                FFrom (133211@1)a state of catatonic sleep


D (xx0232@1)       F (133211@1)  For 30 years
             AWhere (x02220@1)have I been
D/F#
   Eyes open
    F (133211@1)                    ABut (x02220@1)not getting through to me

                            A (x02220@1)| Dm/F | A| (x02220@1)Dm/F(stop and sustain-1 bar)
Can't you stop what's happening


A (x02220@1)                       Dm/F
   A higher dosage he prescribes
                     ABut (x02220@1)there's no guarantee
                   Dm/F
I feel it starting to take over me
A (x02220@1)                       Dm/F
   I tell him not to be ashamed
                        F#mThere's (244222@1)no one who's to blame
                 FA (133211@1)second shot, A brief awakening


D (xx0232@1)         F (133211@1)  I feel the relapse
            ACan't (x02220@1)break free
D/F#
   Eyes open
       F (133211@1)                 ABut (x02220@1)not getting through to me

The chords definitely sound right when you play it but I don't think
they're exactly the same as the Dream Theater version. My version of
everything on this page is at:
