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