E
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
A E (intro) A
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
E
And I found you with a bottle of wine
A
Your head in the curtains
E (intro) A
And heart like the fourth of July
You swore and said
E
We are not
F#M
We are not shining stars
E
This I know
A
I never said we are
E
Though I've never been through hell like that
F#M
I've closed enough windows
E (intro) A
To know you can never look back
E
If you're lost and alone
A B
Or you're sinking like a stone
E A B
Carry On
E
May your past be the sound
A B
Of your feet upon the ground
E A B
Carry on
E A E A
Carry on, carry on
E
So I met up with some friends
A
At the edge of the night
E (intro) A
At a bar off 75
E
And we talked and talked
A
About how our parents will die
E (intro) A
All our neighbours and wives

E
But I like to think
F#M
I can cheat it all
E A
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
E
And it's nice to know
F#M
When I was left for dead
E
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
A
I am not the ghost you want of me
E
If you're lost and alone
A B
Or you're sinking like a stone
E A B
Carry On
E
May your past be the sound
A B
Of your feet upon the ground
E A B
Carry on
B (continued)
Woah
A E
My head is on fire
B
But my legs are fine
A E B
Cause after all they are mine
A E
Lay your clothes down on the floor
B
Close the door
Hold the phone
A
Show me how
E B
No one's ever gonna stop us now
E F#M E A E F#M E A
E
Cause we are
F#M
We are shining stars
E
We are invincible
A
We are who we are
E
On our darkest day
F#M
When we're miles away
E
So we'll come
A
We will find our way home
E
If you're lost and alone
A B
Or you're sinking like a stone
E A B
Carry On
E
May your past be the sound
A B
Of your feet upon the ground
E A B
Carry on
[for the 'oh' and 'woah' bit, altenate between E and A]
WHOLE INTRO
E
carry on, carry on
