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

Then I know again that I must carry on

For the world and its colours will be mine
