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