In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
        G#                    A#             D#
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
       G#                   A#             Cm
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
       Fm              G            Cm
Then I know again that I must carry on

[Chorus]
      G#        A#                 D#     D#/D    Cm
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
      G#        A#        Cm      Gm
Carry on, carry on, carry on

Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
      G#        A#                 D#
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
       G#                   A#             Cm
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
       Fm              G            Cm
Then I know again that I must carry on

Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
          G#        A#              D#
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields 
       G#                   A#              Cm      
For my life's too short for waiting  when I see the rising sun

And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head
        A#            C               F
For the world and its colours will be mine
       A#                   C              Dm
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun
       Gm              A            Dm
Then I know again that I must carry on
