Carry on

Well, I (F)woke up to the sounds of silence,

the (Bb)cars were cutting like knives in a (F)fist fight.

(Bb5)And I (F)found you with a bottle of wine,

with your (Bb)head in the curtains and heart like the fourth of (F)July.

(Bb)You swore and said, (F)"We are not,

we are not (Gm)shining stars."

This I (Fmaj7)know,

I never (Bb)said we are.

Though I've (F)never been through hell like that,

I've (Bb)closed enough windows to know you can never look (F)back.

(Bb5)If you're (F)lost and alone, or you're (Bb)sinking like a (C)stone carry (F)on.

(C)May your (F)past be the sound of your (Bb)feet upon the (C)ground,

carry (F)on.

(C)Carry on, carry (F)on.

(Bb)So I (F)met up with some friends at the edge of the (Bb)night at a bar off seventy (F)five.

(Bb)And we (F)talked and talked about how our parents will (Bb)die,

all our neighbors and wives.

But I (F)like to think I can (Gm)cheat it all to make (Fmaj7)up for the times I've been (Gm)cheated on.

And it's (F)nice to know

when I was (Gm)left for dead

I was (F)found and now I don't roam these streets,

I am (Bb)not the ghost you (C)are to me.

If you're (F)lost and alone or you're (Bb)sinking like a (C)stone carry (F)on.

(C)May your (F)past be the sound of your (Bb)feet upon the (C)ground and carry (F)on.

(C)Oh, and my (Bb)head is on (F)fire but my (C)legs are fine,

after (Bb)all they are (F)mine.

(C)Lay your clothes

(Bb)down on the (F)floor.

Close the (C)door, hold the phone,

show me (Bb)how, no one's (C)ever gonna stop us now.

(Bb)'Cause (F)we are,

we are (Gm)shining stars.

We are (Fmaj7)invincible,

we are (Gm)who we are.

On our (F)darkest day when we're (Gm7)miles away,

sun will (Fmaj7)come, we will (F)find our way (Bb)home.

(C)If you're (Bb)(C)Oh, oh,

(F)On,

(Bb)oh, oh.

(F)On,
