Verse 1:

    E MajorE                  A augmentedA
Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns
               E MajorE     A augmentedA
Were cutting like knives in a fist fight
   E MajorE
And I found you with a bottle of wine
   A augmentedA                        E MajorE     A augmentedA
Your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July

          E MajorE
You swore and said we are not
      F# minorF#m
We are not shining stars
    G# minorG#m
This I know
       A augmentedA
cause I never said we are

      E MajorE
Though I've never been through hell like that
   A augmentedA                        E MajorE     A augmentedA
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back


Chorus:

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

Verse 2:

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

Pre-chorus:

    E MajorE
But I'd like to think
   F# minorF#m
I can cheat it all
    G# minorG#m            A augmentedA
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
     E MajorE
And it's nice to know
      F# minorF#m
When I was left for dead
   G# minorG#m
I was found and I know not these streets
   A augmentedA        BB
I am not the ghost you want to be

Bridge:

  A augmentedA     E MajorE      BB
My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine
      A augmentedA       E MajorE    BB
Cause after all, they are mine
         A augmentedA      E MajorE        BB
Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone

Show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us now
