Intro
[F] [Bb] x4
Verse 1
[F] [Bb]
Well, I woke up to the sound of silence, the cars
[F] [Bb]
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
[F]
And I found you with a bottle of wine
[Bb] [F] [Bb]
your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July
Pre-chorus 1
[F]
You swore and said we are not
[Gm]
We are not shining stars
[F]
This I know
[Bb]
I never said we are
[F]
Though I've never been through hell like that
[Bb] [F] [Bb]
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
Chorus
[F] [Bb] [C]
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' 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
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
Carry on, carry on
Verse 2
[F] [Bb]
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
[F] [Bb]
at a bar off 75
[F] [Bb]
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
[F] [Bb]
All our neighbors and wives
Pre-Chorus 2
[F]
But I'd like to think
[Gm]
I can cheat it all
[F] [Bb]
to make up for the times I've been cheated on
[F]
And it's nice to know
[Gm]
when I was left for dead
[F]
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
[Bb] [C]
I am not the ghost you want of me
Chorus
[F] [Bb] [C]
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' 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]
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Bridge
[Bb] [F] [C]
My head is on fire, but my legs are fine
[Bb] [F] [C]
'Cause after all, they are mine
[Bb] [F] [C]
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
[Bb] [C]
Show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now
Solo
[F] [Gm] [F] [Bb]
[F] [Gm] [F] [Bb]
Pre-Chorus 3
[F] [Gm]
'Cause we are, we are shining stars
[F] [Bb]
We are invincible, we are who we are
[F] [Gm]
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
[F] [Bb] [C]
Sun will come, we will find our way home
Chorus
[F] [Bb] [C]
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone
[F] [Bb] [C]

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
[F] [Bb] [C]
Carry on
