Carry On
Intro:  E  
You can Alaugh at the Bthings that I Ewant
You can Asay that my dreams won't come Btrue
But you Aknow that I Bknow what I Ewant
The Astrength that it takes to follow Bthrough
This deAsire that is Bburning in Eme
Is a Afire that is a out of conBtrol
And you Aknow that I Bknow what I Emean
My Aheart has been broken over and over
Over and over Bso many times
Bridge:
I will C#mmake my miG#mstakes, Atake my heart Eaches
ADo what it takes to get aBlong
I will C#mlay down my G#mpride, Atears I can't Ehide
I've Amade up my mind to carry Bon
Chorus:
ECarry on, if you discover
Acarry on, if dark clouds hover
Ecarry on, when there's no other Aplace to goB  
ECarry on, if you should stumble
Acarry on, if dreams should crumble
Ecarry on, till you find your Away back homeB  
I will lay down where I could feel
All the wind and the grass in my soul
And I'll stare at the clouds over head
Cause I've been disappointed over and over
Over and over so many times
Bridge + Chorus+:
carry on, till you find you're not alone
BCarry on, carry on
