[INTRO]
A# D# A# D# A# D# A# D#
[VERSE 1]
A# D#
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
A# D#
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
A#
And I found you with a bottle of wine
D# A# D#
your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July
A#
You swore and said we are not
C
we are not shining stars
D
This i know
D#2
cause i never said we are
A#
Though I've never been through hell like that
D# A# D#
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
[CHORUS]
A# D# F
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
A# D# F
Carry on
A# D# F
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
A# D# F
Carry on
A# D# A# D#
Carry on carry on
[VERSE 2]
A# D#
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
A# D#
at a bar off 75
A# D#
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
A# D#
All our neighbors and wives
[PRE CHORUS]
A#
But i'd like to think
C
I can cheat it all
D D#2
to make up for the times i've been cheated on
A#
And it's nice to know
C
when i was left for dead
D
I was found and I know not these streets
D#2 F2
I am not the ghost you want to be
[CHORUS]
A# D# F
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
A# D# F
Carry on
A# D# F
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
A# D# F
Carry on
F
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
[BRIDGE]
D# A# F
My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
D# A# F
Cause after all, they are mine
D# A# F
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
D# F
show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now
A# C D D#2
A# C D D#2
[PRE-CHORUS]
A# C
Cause we are, we are shining stars
D D#2
We are invincible, we are who we are
A# C
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
D D#2 F2
Sun will come, we will find our way home
[CHORUS]
A# D# F
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
A# D# F
Carry on
A# D# F
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
A# D# F
Carry on
