couldn’t find the lyrics anywhere , so this is my best guess at the words . sorry
if i messed up a couple .
also , i don’t know the official chord names .
from what i’ve seen , they play it in standard tuning either open or capo 1st fret .
tab was based on this performance ( no capo ) :
v = w9pildjmr0w&feature = related

[ intro ]
E A E A E A E A
[ 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#
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
[ 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#
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
[ 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
B
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
[ 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
E F# G# A2
E F# G# A2
[ pre chorus ]
E F#
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
[ 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
[ outro ]

E A
carry on carry on
E A
carry on carry on
