Verse 1:
E A
Well, I woke up to the sound of silence and scars
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
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
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone,
E A B
Carry on.
E A B
May your path 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 don't roam these streets.
A B
I am not the ghost you are to me.

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.
