Can't Carry On
(N. Finn)
NOTE:
-- Another of these songs where, although I've given chords, what Neil
Finn is playing guitar-wise is a chord with different, little fills in
between the lyric lines.
BmWhy do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure
EmIt's four in the moF#rning should know Bmbetter
But she can weave a spell
Want it to last forever
EmMaking me F#feel like somebody Bmspecial
CHORUS
ACan't carry on this F#way (just Ggo to Asleep)
Before it gets too F#late (just Ggo to Asleep)
Doing damage to my F#brain (just Ggo to Asleep)
Well here we go Fagain
Though I look everywhere
I never seem to find it
Always a shadow around a corner
Drown it in alcohol
Stuck in the elevator
Hard to remember in the morning
Chorus
Tell you about myself
If you're in the mood to listen
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
This is a lonely world
You are a strange companion
When you get what you wanted
You want to leave
AHonestly I want to F#free myGselfA  
From the burden of inF#actionG  A  
Honestly I want to raF#ise GmyselfA  
To any plane I can iF#magineG  A  
Honestly I want to free myself
From the burden of inaction
Honestly I want to raise myself
To any plane I can imagine
BCan't carry on this Eway (just go to Bsleep)
Before it gets too ElateB  
Doing damage to my Ebrain (just go to Bsleep)
Well here we go EagainB  
E(just go to Bsleep) I want to Efree myselfB
