Abm F#
Sitting by the window
E B
Staring out into the night
C#m Abm F#
Waiting up for the light of day yehh
Abm F#
And the sound of silence
E B
The faintly flaring candle light
C#m
Parting has got me
Abm F#
Around to go insane yehh
B F#
Alone I try to while away my time
Abm
Seconds turn to ages
F#
As I close my eyes and wait
B
Sometimes I wonder
F#
What's the reason why
C#m
We long for someone to embrace
A E B
And say hello to say goodbye
C#m A E B
Carry on and I will forever
C#m A E
Longing drives bad memories away
B C#m A E B
And still I carry on and I will forever
C#m A
Cause when I see you smile
E Abm
I dare to believe again
Abm F#
Is there anybody out there
E B
To keep on looking for
C#m Abm F#
If you don't know then lie to me oh
Abm F#
Blue eyed for a letdown
E B
If this is what it takes
C#m
To maybe see the light
Abm F#
I'll dare to shed another tear
B
Oh I Know
F#
The wind blows cold tonight
C#m
But anyhow I gotta go
A E B
Tell me girl where are you now
C#m A E B
Carry on and I will forever
C#m A E
Longing drives bad memories away
B C#m A E B
And still I carry on and I will forever
C#m A
Cause when I see you smile
E B
I dare to believe again ohh!
A
I tried to build a wall
E
And let nobody in
F# A
To be on my own
B
Without love and without pain
F# A
Without pain
I don't know why
But every time
E
I look into your face
F# A
Into your face
B
I am caught and I relapse again
C#m A E B
Carry on, it's forever
