F#m Esus A D

I walk the streets uncertain of what I was searching for, Woah

F#m Esus A D

She stands alone in silence I see that she's been hurt before

F#m Esus A D

And I every step a chance to lose the past, and breathe again, but we pretend

F#m Esus A D

we're soldiers, Go hard into the wall

F#m Esus A D

Heaven knows we cry, Heaven knows we try

F#m Esus A D

Heaven knows I lied to myself saying I'm better off alone

F#m Esus A D

It's the only way that I'm known to get along for this long

F#m Esus A D

Weak heart keeps my head strong

[Pre-Chorus]

(gentle strumming)

So the man that I pretend to be

Has interfered with destiny

And kept me from what's best for me

And left me alone

And all the makeup she can buy

Can't seem to find a way to hide

The way she felt, the days she cried inside

But somehow we carry on

[Chorus]

F#m Esus A D

I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine, We'll carry on

F#m Esus A D

She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night, We'll carry on

F#m Esus A D

And we'll pretend that everything is alright

F#m Esus A D

'Til the sand castles crumble, and the toy soldiers die

N.C.

We'll carry on

[Verse 2]

F#m Esus A D

Eh, lay in my bed just staring at the pictures on the wall, Ooh

F#m Esus A D

Oh, I tell myself don't care but I can hardly sleep at all

F#m Esus A D

Cause every song that plays on the radio, reminds me that you're gone, and that it's over

F#M Esus A D

My bridge burned and my heart's on, on

F#m Esus A D

Heaven knows we cry, Heaven knows we try

F#m Esus A D

Heaven knows I lied to myself saying I'm better off alone

F#m Esus A D

It's the only way that I'm known to get along for this long

F#m Esus A D

Weak heart keeps my head strong

[Pre-Chorus]

So the man that I pretend to be

Has interfered with destiny

And kept me from what's best for me

And left me alone (left me alone)

And all the makeup she can buy

Can't seem to find a way to hide

The way she's felt, the days she cried inside

But somehow we carry on

[Chorus]

F#m Esus A D

I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine, We'll carry on

F#m Esus A D

She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night, We'll carry on

F#m Esus A D

And we'll pretend that everything is alright

F#m Esus A D

'Til the sand castles crumble, And the toy soldiers die

N.C.

We'll carry on

I'll be fine, you'll never

know if you hurt me, or know that I'm lonely,

oh no, behind my smile A thousand

miles beneath is the strength that I need to carry on

[A Cappella]

N.C.

I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine

[Chorus]

F#m Esus A D

I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine, We'll carry on

F#m Esus A D

She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night, We'll carry on

F#m Esus A D

And we'll pretend that everything is alright

F#m Esus A D

'Til the sand castles crumble, And the toy soldiers die

N.C.

We'll carry on
