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