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