F A# F A# F A# F A#
[VERSE 1]
F A#
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
F A#
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
F
And I found you with a bottle of wine
A# F A#
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
A#2
cause i never said we are
F
Though I've never been through hell like that
A# F A#
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
[CHORUS]
F A# C
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
F A# C
Carry on
F A# C
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
F A# C
Carry on
F A# F A#
Carry on carry on
[VERSE 2]
F A#
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
F A#
at a bar off 75
F A#
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
F A#
All our neighbors and wives
[PRE CHORUS]
F
But i'd like to think
G
I can cheat it all
A A#2
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
A#2 C2
I am not the ghost you want to be
[CHORUS]
F A# C
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
F A# C
Carry on
F A# C
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
F A# C
Carry on
C

[BRIDGE]
A# F C
My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
A# F C
Cause after all, they are mine
A# F C
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
A# C
show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now
F G A A#2
F G A A#2
[PRE-CHORUS]
F G
Cause we are, we are shining stars
A A#2
We are invincible, we are who we are
F G
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
A A#2 C2
Sun will come, we will find our way home
[CHORUS]
F A# C
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
F A# C

F A# C
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
