  			Intro:  E 

        A            B             E 
You can laugh at the things that I want 
        A                             B  
You can say that my dreams won't come true 
        A           B           E 
But you know that I know what I want 
    A                                B   
The strength that it takes to follow through 

       A            B          E 
This desire that is burning in me 
     A                        B  
Is a fire that is a out of control 
        A           B           E 
And you know that I know what I mean 
   A 
My heart has been broken over and over 
              B    
Over and over so many times 

Bridge: 
       C#m       G#m     A             E           
I will make my mistakes, take my heart aches 
A                        B 
Do what it takes to get along 
       C#m         G#m    A             E 
I will lay down my pride, tears I can't hide 
     A                        B 
I've made up my mind to carry on 

E 
Carry on, if you discover 
A  
carry on, if dark clouds hover 
E                               A            B 
carry on, when there's no other place to go 
E 
Carry on, if you should stumble 
A 
carry on, if dreams should crumble 
E                            A            B 
carry on, till you find your way back home 

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 
B  
Carry on, carry on
