Those Who Carried On

[Verse 1]
  Em
Inside their little world
     Am
They tried to be understood
    D        D#dim            Em
But all that came of it was a mess

           Em
So sort it out in conversations
Am
Devout apparitions
      D           D#dim         Em
Would say they're horrid nonetheless


[Chorus]
     B7                     Em
Once more, their heads are caving in
          Am                          Em
There's a window that jarred on their conscience
     B7                   Em
Once more, they've left remembering
       C                           Em       B
To the people that picked up their arms and legs
            Am Em B Em
And carried on

[Verse 2]
            Em              D
They pulled apart their own ego at the seams
G                             Em
And spilled their organs everywhere
          B7
Caught in polarized degrees
G                          B
They may decay again, so beware
          Am         Em
These are people too backwards to die out
B        Am      G
They may never escape from the rise, now
B        Am         Em
They may never come back


[Verse 3]
          Em
Crumbling still
                     Am
Their little world rebuilt
Am
What couldn't be endured
     D               D#dim         Em
Now, there's nothing left to go to waste

           Em
So sort it out with new perspectives
Am
Reused and defective
D               D#dim        Em
They challenged odds face-to-face


[Chorus]
     G                    D
Once more, their head had caved in
        Em                     D
And the past lingered nearby a locked door
     G                D
Once more, they had revisited
          G                 B7
Something over and over and over again
            Em/B D Em
And carried on

Em D G B
Em B7 Em
Em D G

[Verse 4]
    B               Em
So, after all these years
       D
They remained a form of art
G                               Em
'Cus they had problems from the start
            B7
Though they acted on a dare
Em                                  B
There's nothing stopping them, so beware
          Am         Em
These are people too fearless to die out
B7             Am      G
Though they'll never escape from the rise

Now...


[Outro]
B Em B B
      Em              B      Em
You'd say that things have improved...
Em
Right?

B Em B B
      Em              B      Em
You'd say that things have improved!
Em
Right?
