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.
Bm
Why do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure
Em                 F#                Bm
It's four in the morning should know better
But she can weave a spell
Want it to last forever
Em        F#                 Bm
Making me feel like somebody special
CHORUS
A                   F#        G     A
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
                   F#         G     A
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
                   F#          G     A
Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)
                F
Well here we go again
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
A                  F#     G      A
Honestly I want to free myself
                     F#     G    A
From the burden of inaction
                     F#  G       A
Honestly I want to raise myself
                    F#     G     A
To any plane I can imagine
Honestly I want to free myself
From the burden of inaction
Honestly I want to raise myself
To any plane I can imagine
B                   E               B
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
                   E       B
Before it gets too late
                   E                 B
Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)
                E           B
Well here we go again
E           B                E            B
(just go to sleep) I want to free myself
E           B                E            B
(just go to sleep) I want to raise myself
Closing:
B   A   G   F#  G   A
B    A    G    F#   G   B
