1. Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
                                 E        A
   were cutting like knives in a fist fight
         E          
   And I found you with a bottle of wine
        A                                              E  A
   your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July
   
                      E
   You swore and said we are not
              F#
   we are not shining stars
          G#
   This I know
                 A2
   cause I never said we are
   
               E
   Though I've never been through hell like that
        A                                                E  A   
   I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back

             E                         A             B
R: If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
         E A B
   Carry on
            E                         A             B
   May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
         E A B
   Carry on
                  E A E A
   Carry on carry on

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

           E                   
X: But I'd 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 I know not these streets
        A2                B2
   I am not the ghost you want to be

             E                         A             B
R: If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone
         E A B
   Carry on
            E                         A             B
   May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
         E A B
   Carry on

   B
   ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

      A          E            B            
*: My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
               A             E  B
   Cause after all, they are mine     
                    A           E                B
   Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone
           A             B
   show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now

X: Cause we are, we are shining stars
            G#               A2
   We are invincible, we are who we are
          E                       F#
   On our darkest day, when we're miles away
            G#                         A2 B2
   Sun will come, we will find our way home
