Dm       A#    G
Take a trip inside my head
Dm           A#         G
Leave your sticks and stones
Dm      A#         G
Broken bones, I'm left for dead
      Dm    A#    G
But still I carry on
       F   A
When I am down, I carry on

Chorus:
Dm                     A#
When it's cold in this wild, wild world
     F                          A
Everyone's trying to dig your grave
(I carry on)
Dm                     A#
When they told you to fit the mold
    F                  A
Now everybody's got a say
(I carry on)
Dm               A#
When the madness all around us
  F                 A
Starts to take its toll
(I carry on)
Dm                 A#                F
It's a long, dark winding road we're on
   A
Oh, I carry on

Here I go again, the sound of silence
Ringing in my head
Same as yesterday, see the sirens
All I feel is red
I bet the house, don't make no sense
But all I got's what's in my chest
Here I go again, here I go
But when I am down, I carry on

Chorus:
When it's cold in this wild, wild world
Everyone's trying to dig your grave
(I carry on)
When they told you to fit the mold
Now everybody's got a say
(I carry on)
When the madness all around us
Starts to take it's toll
(I carry on)
It's a long, dark winding road we're on
Oh I carry on

I carry, I carry, I carry, I carry on
I carry, I carry, I carry, I carry on

Chorus:
When it's cold in this wild, wild world
Everyone's trying to dig your grave
(I carry on)
When they told you to fit the mold
Now everybody's got a say
(I carry on)
When the madness all around us
Starts to take it's toll
(I carry on)
It's a long, dark winding road we're on
Oh I carry on
I carry on
Oh I carry on
