[INTRO]
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
E A
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
E
And I found you with a bottle of wine
A E A
your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July
If you’re lost and alone, or you’re sinkin like a stone
E A B
Carry on
E A B
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
E A B
Carry on
E A E A
Carry on carry on [VERSE 2] E A
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
E A
at a bar off 75
E A
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
E A
All our neighbors and wives [PRE CHORUS] E
But i’d like to think
F#
I can cheat it all
Ab A2
to make up for the times i’ve been cheated on
E
And it’s nice to know
F#
when i was left for dead
Ab
I was found and I know not these streets
A2 B2
I Am not the ghost you want to be [CHORUS] E A B
If you’re lost and alone, or you’re sinkin like a stone
E A B
Carry on
E A B
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
E A B
Carry on
My head is on fire, but my legs they’re fine
A E B
Cause after all, they are mine
A E B
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
A B
show me how, no one’s ever gonna stop us now
Cause we are, we are shining stars
Ab A2
We are invincible, we are who we are
E F#
On our darkest day, when we’re miles away
Ab A2 B2
Sun will come, we will find our way home [CHORUS] E A B
If you’re lost and alone, or you’re sinkin like a stone
E A B
Carry on
E A B
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
E A B
Carry on [OUTRO]
