INTRO: F Bb (x4)

VERSE:
     F
Well I woke up to the sound of silence.
   Bb                      F       Bb
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight.
     F
And I found you with the bottle of wine,
    Bb  
Your head in the curtains 
                     F    Bb
and heart like the fourth of July.

              F                Bb
You swore and said, "We are not, we are not shining stars"
     F         Bb
This I know. I never said we are.
        F 
Well I've never been through hell like that.
     Bb
I've closed enough windows
                   F     Bb
to know you can never look back.

CHORUS:
       F                  Bb        C
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone
    F  Bb  C
Carry on
       F                 Bb         C
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
    F  Bb  C
Carry on
 C         F
Carry on, Carry on

VERSE:
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75.
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die,
All our neighbours and wives.

But I like to think I can cheat it all.
To make up for the times I've been cheated on.
And it's nice to know when I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets.
I Am not the ghost you want of me.

CHORUS:
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

BRIDGE:
C      Bb      F
Woah, my head is on fire
     C
But my legs are fine.
     Bb        F
After all, they are mine.
C           Bb       F
Lay your clothes down on the floor.
       Bb
Close the door, hold the phones,
      C                        F
Show me how. No one is ever going to stop us now.
