C      G             Am
Oh how brilliant you are
C   G           Am
The poet in the park
C    G           Am
They wanted your soul
C       G              Am
But you gave them your heart
G             Am
I bet it gets dark
C        G         Am
At night where you are
G          Am      C    G Am
But nobody sleeps, anyway anymore

C  G  Am x2

C      G           Am
Oh how brilliant I am
C G           Am
A singer in a band
C    G         Am
They wanted my soul
C    G          Am
So I gave it to them
G            Am
I'm carrying on
C     G            Am
But I haven't much more
G             Am
And I feel so afraid
C     G              Am
But I don't know what for

C  G  Am x2

G                Am
And a new sun is rising
C     G           Am
I can touch it my dear
G                      Am
For as long as you are smiling
       C      G      Am
we can carry on
       C      G      Am
we can carry on
       C         G       Am
we can carry on, carry on
       C      G      Am
we can carry on
       C      G      Am
we can carry on
