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

Carry on, carry on, carry on
