[VERSE 1]
     E                        A
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
                    E            A
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
    E       
And I found you with a bottle of wine
   A                                E       A
your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July

             E
You swore and said we are not
       F#
we are not shining stars
     Ab
This i know
         A2
cause i never said we are

        E
Though I've never been through hell like that
   A                                E      A  
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back


[CHORUS]
       E                 A         B
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
    E      A     B
Carry on
      E                 A         B
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
    E      A     B
Carry on
           E     A     E     A
Carry on carry on


[VERSE 2]
   E                             A
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
         E       A
at a bar off 75
     E                              A
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
       E                A
All our neighbors and wives


[PRE CHORUS]
     E
But i'd like to think
    F#
I can cheat it all
     Ab                 A2
to make up for the times i've been cheated on
      E
And it's nice to know
       F#
when i was left for dead
    Ab
I was found and I know not these streets
   A2           B2
I Am not the ghost you want to be


[CHORUS]
       E                 A         B
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
    E      A     B
Carry on
      E                 A         B
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
    E      A     B
Carry on

B
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh


[BRIDGE]
  A       E        B        
My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
        A         E     B
Cause after all, they are mine   
           A       E           B
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
     A         B
show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now

E  F#  Ab A2

E  F#  Ab A2


[PRE CHORUS]
    E         F#
Cause we are, we are shining stars
      Ab          A2
We are invincible, we are who we are
     E                F#
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
      Ab                 A2   B2
Sun will come, we will find our way home


[CHORUS]
       E                 A         B
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
    E      A     B
Carry on
      E                 A         B
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
    E      A     B
Carry on
