In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
F# G# C#
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
F# G# A#m
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
D#m F A#m
Then I know again that I must carry on
[Chorus]
F# G# C# C#/C A#m
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
F# G# A#m Fm
Carry on, carry on, carry on
[Verse]

Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
F# G# C#
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
F# G# A#m
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
D#m F A#m
Then I know again that I must carry on
[Chorus]
F# G# C# C#/C A#m
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
