Carry On

												
INTRO:
F  Bb (x4)

VERSE 1:
        F
Well I woke up to the sound of silence.
     Bb                                 F          Bb
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight.
        F
And I found you with the bottle of wine,
      Bb   
Your head in the curtains 
                               F      Bb
and heart like the fourth of July.


                     F                       Bb
You swore and said, "We are not, we are not shining stars"
        F             Bb
This I know. I never said we are.
            F 
Well I've never been through hell like that.
       Bb
I've closed enough windows
                            F       Bb
to know you can never look back.

CHORUS:
           F                          Bb            C
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone
      F   Bb   C
Carry on
          F                         Bb              C
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
      F   Bb   C
Carry on
  C              F
Carry on, Carry on

VERSE 2
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         Bb         F
Woah, my head is on fire
        C
But my legs are fine.
       Bb            F
After all, they are mine.
C                 Bb           F
Lay your clothes down on the floor.
           Bb
Close the door, hold the phones,
         C                                    F
Show me how. No one is ever going to stop us now.

F  Bb
