Verse 1:
E A
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#m
We are not shining stars
G#m
This I know
A
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
Chorus:
E A B
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
Verse 2:
E A
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
E A
At a bar off 75
E A
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
E A
All our neighbors and wives
Pre-chorus:
E
But I'd like to think
F#m
I can cheat it all
G#m A
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
E
And it's nice to know
F#m
When I was left for dead
G#m
I was found and I know not these streets
A B
I am not the ghost you want to be
(This riff plays through the pre-chorus)

Bridge:
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
