~~ The example above shows the verse, but it can be applied to every other section of the song!
~~ I would recommend muting the higher e-string if you strum the chords, this fits the song better
in my opinion.
~~ Tip: It also sounds nice to play a good old Cadd9 in the chorus ;)

[Verse]
Em G
I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
D Em
Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
Em G
I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
D Em
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
Em G
There's no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
D Em
And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Em G
Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road - can't worry 'bout
D Em
what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road
Em G
I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong
D Em
I try to keep on keeping on
G D Em
Yeah I just keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
C G D Em
I hear a voice calling, calling out for me
C G D Em
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
C G D Em
Be it for reason, be it for love
C G D C G Em
I won't take the easy road
[Bridge]
Em G D Em
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah

Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
[Verse]
Em G
I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon
D Em
Having no idea who or what or where I am
Em G
Something good comes with the bad, a song's never just sad
D Em
There's hope, there's a silver lining
G D Em
Show me my silver lining
G D Em
Show me my silver lining
[Chorus]
C G D Em
I hear a voice calling, calling out for me
C G D Em
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
C G D Em
Be it for reason, be it for love
C G D C G Em
I won't take the easy road
[Bridge]
Em G D Em
I won't take the easy road the easy road, the easy road (oho)
Em G D Em
I won't take the easy road the easy road, the easy road (oho)
Em G D Em
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
Em G D Em
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
[Outro]

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
