[intro]
Em Am Cmaj7 x2
[verse 1]
with eachEm stroke of my penAm i connect
reflecCmaj7t on what was learned, what was gained, what was left
of the sEmhards of a lifetime
cAmapsized i was Cmaj7broken into fragments, scoured the cabinets
for the bEmottles that were hidden, were there messaAmges you'd given me?Cmaj7
i'm your one and only legacy
it's beenEm six years since we lasAmt met
i no longer Cmaj7dream of you, the visions gone from my head
once fEmound in those brutally surreal sAmcenes
where your spirit lingeCmaj7rs, i'm incapable of seeing
furthermore i'm fairly dEmoubtful that you are little more than duAmst
atoms now recycCmaj7led in god i cannot trust, yet i must
where is your Emfaith when you need it?
tell me, Amwhere is christ when you Cmaj7do not believe in angels or in demons?
emEmaciated figure, my fatherAm his body ravagedCmaj7 but still we managed
to make it many years before the liEmquor pulled the trigger
i'm stranAmded i haven't forCmaj7gotten how i thought that i would cope once i was bigger
my fEmeet's my only carriage but i stumbAmle as i tread
pages wCmaj7ritten in a book that you and i once read, they sEmaid
[chorus]
not yet but sAmoon i will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon i will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon i will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon i will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon i will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry on
[verse 2]
Em it's difficult to say exAmactly what i feel
lCmaj7ost in some translation and there's scratches on the reel
of a blEmack and white, a silent movie usually Ami'm the one to say the soCmaj7undtracks flawed
but in this case the melancholy draws me to the
bEmackground of the photograph
i hope it lAmasts this feeling that you're watchCmaj7ing from above
that you know i dedicate the music tEmo your love
guitar rAmesonates with your dCmaj7oomed fate while i strum i contemplate
i was broughtEm up amidst the vodka
it poisoAmned you and i was forced to Cmaj7watch my father slowly die over a toilet filled with Empuke
always afraid i'd wake up to yAmour corpse
as a scareCmaj7d kid tried to keep my eyes from the floor
don't look dEmown, in fact shut your eyelAmids entirely
the knowlCmaj7edge that you'll never get to know me's got me crying
Em death signifies the loss ofAm a fragile life
for eCmaj7very moment that you miss, i send to what i hope is heavenEm your daughters kiss
we cant speak, praAmy to no one in partiCmaj7cular my wish will one day meet your cheek
hold myEm head up high but i stumble asAm i tread
Pages written iCmaj7n a book that you and i once read, they sEmaid
[chorus]
not yet but sAmoon you will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon you will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon you will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon you will be gCmaj7one
carry on carry on
[verse 3]
channelEming the memories that i wrote dAmown in a notebook that i keCmaj7pt after your death
bereft, frightened that in a shEmort time i would lose sight Amof the subtleties of ouCmaj7r relationship
all the reminders
the way your leaEmther jacket smelled of cigaretteAms and booze
inhale thCmaj7e fragrance of an addict i was bound to lose
i'm still your Emchild Am
i'm still your Cmaj7child
you are my teacher
i learned Emhow to be the person that you coulAmdn't even though i care for Cmaj7you
i'm wary i will replicate the mistakes you made in yEmouth
that carried on, imprinted in mAmy mind
i am playinCmaj7g your guitar, do the chords transcend time and spaceEm?
wasted potential Ami know it wasn't meant to Cmaj7end like this, with you lifeless
in an uEmrn full of ashes, gashes thAmat are reopeCmaj7ned every time a word is spoken
for you live and breatheEm within the parts Amof me deep dCmaj7own that are forever broken
fEmather, rest in peace but i stumble as i Amtread
pages wriCmaj7tten in a book that you and i once read, they sEmaid
[chorus]
not yet but sAmoon we'll all be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon we'll all be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon we'll all be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
not yet but sAmoon we'll all be gCmaj7one
carry on carry onEm
[outro]
go forth and so Amon and so fCmaj7orth
go forth and so on and so fEmorth
go forth and so Amon and so fCmaj7orth
still i miss you
go forth and so Amon and so fCmaj7orth
go forth and so on and so fEmorth
go forth and so Amon and so fCmaj7orth
