Well I woke up to the sound of silence 
    A                                  E              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           A
And heart like the fourth of July 


You swore and said 
E
We are not 
           F#
We are not shining stars 
       G#
This I know 
        A2
I never said we are 
            E
Though I've never been through hell like that 
     A            
I've closed enough windows 
                           E           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       A
At a bar off 75 
       E
And we talked and talked 
                           A
About how our parents will die 
          E                      A
All our neighbours and wives 

    E
But I like to think 
      F#
I can cheat it all 
        G#                         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 
      G#
I was found and now I don't roam these streets 
     A2                     B2
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
Woah 
   A          E
My head is on fire 
       B
But my legs are fine 
            A            E
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 
         B
No one's ever gonna stop us now 
E F# G# A2
E F# G# A2

      E
Cause we are 
       F#
We are shining stars 
       G#
We are invincible 
        A2
We are who we are 
       E
On our darkest day 
           F#
When we're miles away 
         G#
So we'll come 
                     A2   B2
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 
        E      A
Carry on, carry on
