B E B E B E B E
[VERSE 1]
B E
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
B E
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
B
And I found you with a bottle of wine
E B E
your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July
B
You swore and said we are not
C#
we are not shining stars
D#
This i know
E2
cause i never said we are
B
Though I've never been through hell like that
E B E
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
[CHORUS]
B E F#
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
B E F#
Carry on
B E F#
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
B E F#
Carry on
B E B E
Carry on carry on
[VERSE 2]
B E
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
B E
at a bar off 75
B E
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
B E
All our neighbors and wives
[PRE CHORUS]
B
But i'd like to think
C#
I can cheat it all
D# E2
to make up for the times i've been cheated on
B
And it's nice to know
C#
when i was left for dead
D#
I was found and I know not these streets
E2 F#2
I am not the ghost you want to be
[CHORUS]
B E F#
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
B E F#
Carry on
B E F#
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
B E F#
Carry on
F#
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
[BRIDGE]
E B F#
My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
E B F#
Cause after all, they are mine
E B F#
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
E F#
show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now
B C# D# E2
B C# D# E2
[PRE-CHORUS]
B C#
Cause we are, we are shining stars
D# E2
We are invincible, we are who we are
B C#
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
D# E2 F#2
Sun will come, we will find our way home
[CHORUS]
B E F#
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
B E F#
Carry on
B E F#
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
B E F#
Carry on
