E 
Carry on, let the good times roll 
Sail along, let your path unfold 
            A 
It won't be long, won't be long, won't be long 
                        E 
You know it's gonna get better, you know it's gonna get better 
E 
Say a prayer for the broken bones 
Cause who cares? We're all going home 
                A 
And it won't be long, won't be long, won't be long 
                        E 
You know it's gonna get better, you know it's gonna get better 

      E               B            C#m             A 
I got one foot in the golden life, one foot in the gutter 
   E            B              C#m          A 
So close to the other side, so far from the wonder 
      E               B            C#m             A 
I got one foot in the golden life, one foot in the gutter 
E              B                C#m              A 
So sick of the tug of war, that keeps pulling me under 

        E           B   C#m A 
Let the good times roll 
        E           B   C#m A 
Let the good times roll 

      E 
Carry on, outlast the ignorance 
Moving on, survive the innocence 
         A 
Won't be long, won't be long, won't be long 
                        E 
You know it's gonna get better
