[A]
[E]
[A]
[E]
Well I woke up to the sound of [A] silence in the clouds
We're cutting like [E] knives in a fist fight [A]
And I found you with a bottle of [A] wine
Your head in the curtains and I like the [E] 4th of July
[E]
You swore and said we are not, we are [F#m] not shining [B]
stars
[G#m] This I know, I [A] never said we are [E] Though I've never been through hell like [A] that
I've closed enough windows to know you can never [E] look back
[A]
[E] If you're lost and alone, [A] or you're sinking [B] like a stone
[E] Carry on, oh [A] oh oh [B]
May [E] your past be the sound [A] of your feet [B] upon
the ground And [E] carry on, oh [A] oh [B] oh
Carry [E] on, carry on So [A]
[E] [A]
[E] I met up with some friends at the [A] edge
of the night At a bar of [E] 75
[A]
[E] And we talked and talked about how our [A] parents would lie
All our [E] neighbors and wives [A]
[E] But I'd like to think [C#m] I can cheat it all
[D#] To make up [G#m] for the times [A] I've been cheated on
[E] And it's nice to know [C#m] when I was left for dead
[E] [A] I'm not the [B] ghost you are to [E] me if you're lost and alone
[A] Or you're sinking [B] like a stone [E] Carry on, oh [A] oh oh
[B] May [E] your past be the [A] sound of your feet [B] upon the ground
[E] And carry on, oh [A] oh oh
[B] What [A] is a [E] fight when [B] my legs are fine?
[A] After all, they [E] are mine
[B] Lay it low on [A] the [E] floor [B] Close the door, hold the phone
Show [A] me how, [B] knowing death is gonna [E] stop us now
[C#m]
[G#m] [A]
[E] [C#m]
[E] [A]
[E] Cause we are, we [C#m] are shining stars We are [E] invincible
[G#m] We [A] are who we are On [E] our darkest day
When [F#m] we're miles away So [G#m] far we will find our [A] way home
[B] Oh, [E] if you're lost and alone [A] Or you're sinking [B] like a stone
[E] Carry on, oh oh [A] oh
[B]
May [E] your past be the sound [A] of your feet [B] upon the ground
[E] Carry on, oh [A] oh oh
[B]
Ah [E] woah-woah [A]-oh-woah
Ah [E]-woah-woah-oh [A]-woah
[E] Ah woah-woah [A]-woah
Ah [E] woah-woah-oh [A]-woah
Carry on, [E] carry on
