C G Em
Who's gonna cut the rope
C G Em
Who's gonna save a piece
Em G D
Who's gonna wreck this hope
Em G D
Who'll be the first to leave

[Chorus]
       C        G 
Carry on, carry on
 Em                          D
What do you say when your chance is gone?
       C            G
Fair enough, fair enough
 Em                         D
How do I drain all of this bad blood?

[Verse 2]
C G Em
I do the best I can
C G Em
Balancing on the edge
Em G D
I'll cover up your eyes
Em G D
I'll keep you safely blind

[Chorus]
       C        G 
Carry on, carry on
 Em                          D
What do you say when your chance is gone?
       C            G
Fair enough, fair enough
 Em                         D
How do I drain all of this bad blood?

[Chorus]
       C        G 
Carry on, carry on
 Em                          D
What do you say when your chance is gone?
       C            G
Fair enough, fair enough
 Em                         D
How do I drain all of this bad blood?

[Bridge]
                   G
I'll tell you the truth
                       Em
If you had nothing to lose
                            C
It cuts me straight to the bone
                                               G
I'll cover up 'cause I know what it's doing to you
D                 G
I've carried the weight
                  C
I came so far to protect you
                       Em
He pushed me into the fire
                        C
I kept you out of the flames
D                   G
I did what I had to do

[Outro]
D                  G
I'll tell you the truth
                       C
If you had nothing to lose
                        Em
My hands are over your eyes
                              D
I'll keep you safe, keep you blind
                           G    D
What would you say if you knew?
