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
E
we are not shining stars
F#
This i know
G2
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
E
I can cheat it all
F# G2
to make up for the times i've been cheated on
D
And it's nice to know
E
when i was left for dead
F#
I was found and I know not these streets
G2 A2
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

[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 E F# G2
D E F# G2
[PRE-CHORUS]
D E
Cause we are, we are shining stars
F# G2
We are invincible, we are who we are
D E
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
F# G2 A2
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

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
