E5 A5 E5 A5 E5 A5 E5 A5


[VERSE 1]
       E5                                   A5
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
                              E5                  A5
were cutting like knives in a fist fight
      E5          
And I found you with a bottle of wine
     A5                                                E5          A5
your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July

                   E5
You swore and said we are not
           F#5
we are not shining stars
       Ab5
This i know
              A5
cause i never said we are

            E5
Though I've never been through hell like that
     A5                                                E5         A5   
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back


[CHORUS]
          E5                         A5             B5
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
      E5         A5        B5
Carry on
         E5                         A5             B5
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
      E5         A5        B5
Carry on
                 E5       A5       E5        A5
Carry on carry on


[VERSE 2]
     E5                                           A5
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
              E5          A5
at a bar off 75
       E5                                            A5
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
          E5                       A5
All our neighbors and wives


[PRE CHORUS]
        E5
But i'd like to think
      F#5
I can cheat it all
        Ab5                         A5
to make up for the times i've been cheated on
         E5
And it's nice to know
           F#5
when i was left for dead
      Ab5
I was found and I know not these streets
     A5                B5
I am not the ghost you want to be


[CHORUS]
          E5                         A5             B5
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
      E5         A5        B5
Carry on
         E5                         A5             B5
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
      E5         A5        B5
Carry on

B5
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh


[BRIDGE]
   A5          E5            B5            
My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
            A5             E5        B5
Cause after all, they are mine     
                 A5           E5                B5
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
        A5             B5
show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now

E5   F#5   Ab5  A5

E5   F#5   Ab5  A5


[PRE CHORUS]
      E5              F#5
Cause we are, we are shining stars
         Ab5               A5
We are invincible, we are who we are
       E5                       F#5
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
         Ab5                         A5     B5
Sun will come, we will find our way home


[CHORUS]
          E5                         A5             B5
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
      E5         A5        B5
Carry on
         E5                         A5             B5
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
      E5         A5        B5
Carry on
