Carry On

INTRO: F A# (x4)

 

VERSE:

F

Well I woke up to the sound of silence.

A# F A#

The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight.

F

And I found you with the bottle of wine,

A#

Your head in the curtains

F A#

and heart like the fourth of July.

 

F A#

You swore and said, "We are not, we are not shining stars"

F A#

This I know. I never said we are.

F

Well I've never been through hell like that.

A#

I've closed enough windows

F A#

to know you can never look back.

 

CHORUS:

F A# C

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone

F A# C

Carry on

F A# C

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

F A# C

Carry on

C F

Carry on, Carry on

 

VERSE:

So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night

At a bar off 75.

And we talked and talked about how our parents will die,

All our neighbours and wives.

 

But I like to think I can cheat it all.

To make up for the times I've been cheated on.

And it's nice to know when I was left for dead

I was found and now I don't roam these streets.

I Am not the ghost you want of me.

 

CHORUS:

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

 

BRIDGE:

C A# F

Woah, my head is on fire

C

But my legs are fine.

A# F

After all, they are mine.

C A# F

Lay your clothes down on the floor.

A#

Close the door, hold the phones,

C F

Show me how. No one is ever going to stop us now.

 

Outro: F A#
