[Verse]
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
A# C F
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
A# C Dm
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Gm A Dm
Then I know again that I must carry on
[Chorus]
A# C F F/E Dm
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
A# C Dm Am
Carry on, carry on, carry on
[Verse]
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
A# C F
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
A# C Dm
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Gm A Dm
Then I know again that I must carry on
[Chorus]
A# C F F/E Dm
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
A# C Dm Am Dm Am
Carry on, carry on, carry on
[Verse]
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
A# C F
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields
A# C Dm
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Gm A Dm
Then I know again that I must carry on
A# C Dm A#
Carry on, carry on, carry on
