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
E
This i know
F2
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
E F2
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
E
I was found and I know not these streets
F2 G2
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

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

[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 E F2
C D E F2
[PRE-CHORUS]
C D
Cause we are, we are shining stars
E F2
We are invincible, we are who we are
C D
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
E F2 G2
Sun will come, we will find our way home
[CHORUS]

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
