[INTRO]
F# B F# B F# B F# B
[VERSE 1]
F# B
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
F# B
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
F#
And I found you with a bottle of wine
B F# B
your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July
F#
You swore and said we are not
G#
we are not shining stars
A#
This i know
B2
cause i never said we are
F#
Though I've never been through hell like that
B F# B
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
[CHORUS]
F# B C#
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
F# B C#
Carry on
F# B C#
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
F# B C#
Carry on
F# B F# B
Carry on carry on
[VERSE 2]
F# B
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
F# B
at a bar off 75
F# B
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
F# B
All our neighbors and wives
[PRE CHORUS]
F#
But i'd like to think
G#
I can cheat it all
A# B2
to make up for the times i've been cheated on
F#
And it's nice to know
G#
when i was left for dead
A#
I was found and I know not these streets
B2 C#2
I am not the ghost you want to be
[CHORUS]
F# B C#
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
F# B C#
Carry on
F# B C#
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
F# B C#
Carry on
C#
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
[BRIDGE]
B F# C#
My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
B F# C#
Cause after all, they are mine
B F# C#
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
B C#
show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now
F# G# A# B2
F# G# A# B2
[PRE-CHORUS]
F# G#
Cause we are, we are shining stars
A# B2
We are invincible, we are who we are
F# G#
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
A# B2 C#2
Sun will come, we will find our way home
[CHORUS]
F# B C#
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
F# B C#
Carry on
F# B C#
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
F# B C#
Carry on
