Don't confuse
               D#
neadiness for love
                        Fm
Because obsession never lasts
             Gm             G#
and you're insane by a landslide
      D#
Never cared for you much

And I've followed you around
I've seen you all over town
I've got a laundry list telling me why
It follows to prove I was right

Carry on, with the guise of a sheep in a storm
You're a wolf and you're losing
the ground that you're on

A#           G/B       Cm
don't want a part of it

Carry on (carry on)
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Hey hey, carry on (carry on)
