F#m                         D 
The cry of the city like a siren's song 
F#m                        D 
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long 
F#m                            D 
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky 
E 
Must be someone's soul passing by 
 

F#m 
These are the streets 
            D 
Where we used to run where your Papa's from 
F#m 
These are the days 
               D 
Where you become what you become 
F#m 
These are the streets 
            D             
Where the story's told 
 
The truth unfolds 
       E 
Darkness settles in      Oh-Oh 
 

D            A   E       F#m 
Shine your light down on me 
D       A   E       F#m 
Lift me up so I can see 
D            A    E        F#m 
Shine your light when you're gone 
D               A 
Give me the strength 
    E        A            D ? A  
To carry on, carry on 
 

F#m       
Don't wanna be a hero 
                D 
Just an everyday man 
F#m                          D 
Trying to do the job the very best he can 
F#m                           D 
But now it's like living on borrowed time 
     E 
Out on the rim , over the line 
 

F#m                              D 
Always tempting fate like a game of chance 
F#m                             D 
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance 
F#m                          D 
Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall 
     E 
Loose hold your grip off the wall 
 
 

D            A   E       F#m 
Shine your light down on me 
D       A   E       F#m 
Lift me up so I can see 
D            A    E        F#m 
Shine your light when you're gone 
D               A 
Give me the strength 
    E        A            D ? A  
To carry on, carry on 
 
 
Bm                                  E 
I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road 
D                              A 
Maybe trying to find his way home 
      Bm 
He's here but not here     
       E 
He's gone but not gone 
        D                   E            E 
Just hope he knows if I get lost 
 


D            A   E       F#m 
Shine your light down on me 
D       A   E       F#m 
Lift me up so I can see 
D            A    E        F#m 
Shine your light when you're gone 
D               A 
Give me the strength 
    E        A            D ? A  
To carry on, carry on 
      A 
Carry on
