This song is one of my favorite songs to play....such a showcase of Geddy's beautiful melodies...


Intro: just hit an Echord
Hold your fire
A              
Keep it burning
D 
bright
E              
Hold the flame 'til the
A 
dream 
D
ignites
A              
A spirit with A
D
vision is a 
A
dream
E
With a mission

D(this is where I start strumming)
I hear their passionate music
G
Read the words that touch my heart
Bm
I gaze at their feverish pictures
A
The secrets that set them apart
D
When I feel the powerful visions
G
Their fire has made alive
Bm
I wish I had that instinct
A
I wish I had that drive

E
Spirits fly on dangerous missions
A
Imaginations on fire
Bm
Focused high on soaring ambitions
A
Consumed in a single desire
E
In the grip of a nameless possession
A
A slave to the drive of obsession
Bm              
A spirit with A
D 
vision is a
A 
dream
       E
With a mission

D
I watch their images flicker
G
Bringing light to a lifeless screen
Bm
I walk through their beautiful buildings
A
And I wish I had their dreams
D
But dreams don't need to have motion
G
To keep their spark alive
Bm
Obsession has to have action
A
Pride turns on the drive

E
It's cold comfort
A
To the ones without it
D
To know how they struggled
A
How they suffered about it
E
If their lives were exotic and strange
A
They would likely have gladly exchanged them
Bm                          
For something a little more 
D
plain
       A                     
Maybe something a little more
E 
sane

E
We each pay a fabulous price
A
For our visions of paradise
Bm                 
But a spirit with a
D 
vision is a 
A
dream
       E
With a mission


Probably not 100% percent correct, but play around with it and you'll get it.
