VERSE 1
F
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
Bb F Bb
And cries were cutting like knives in a fist fight
F
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Bb
Your head in the curtains
F Bb
And heart like the Fourth of July
You swore and said
F
We are not
Gm
We are not shining stars
Am
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
REFRAIN
F
If you're lost and alone
Bb C
Or you're sinking like a stone
F Bb C
Carry on
F
May your past be the sound
Bb C
Of your feet upon the ground
F Bb C
Carry on
F Bb F Bb
Carry on carry on
VERSE 2 (chords as in VERSE 1)
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar off 7
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives
But I like to think I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know when I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you are to me
REFRAIN
F
If you're lost and alone
Bb C
Or you're sinking like a stone
F Bb C
Carry on
F
May your past be the sound
Bb C
Of your feet upon the ground
F Bb C
Carry on
C
Whoa!
Bb F C
My head is on fire but my legs are fine
Bb F C
After all they are mine
Bb F
Lay your clothes down on the floor
C
Close the door hold the phone
Bb C F
Show me how no one's ever gonna stop us tonight
INSTRUMENTAL
F Gm Am Bb (x4)
F
Cause here we are
Gm
We are shining stars
Am
We are invincible
Bb
We are who we are
F
On our darkest day
Gm
When we're miles away
Am
Sun will come
Bb C
We will find our way home
[REFRAIN]
F Bb
Oooh.
F Bb
Oooh.
F Bb
Oooh.
F Bb F
Oooh...
