D
It's times like these I want to disappear
            D
With this dagger in my back and a six pack of beer
             D
’Cause it's abundantly clear
      C           Bb
I'm another one mired in the meanwhile

D
Will this bottle give me good advice
         D
Will it sell me salvation at a wholesale price
       D
Going once going twice
     C
I’m another one
  Bb                        D
Stuck here at the turnstile

[Chorus 1]
A             F             G              D
I got pretty high but it's long come and gone
A                   F              G         D           A
Just give me the strength to carry on, carry on, carry on

[Verse 2]
    D
I spent all my money on rock and roll
       D
That crap top 40 ain't got no soul
             D
It's like a big black hole
        C
C'mon people
          Bb
Is there anybody out there

D
I bet wrong, I lost every dime
              D
There's no accounting for taste

It's a waste of time
           D
Ain't no reason or rhyme
       C
C’mon people
        Bb                      D
You’re making them millionaires

[Chorus 2]
A                 F
I don't need no million dollars
  G              D
Mine’s come and gone
A                   F              G         D           A
Just give me the strength to carry on, carry on, carry on

[Chorus 3]
A            F                G            D
And in the meanwhile, be it right, be it wrong
A          F           G              D
I'm doing time for a crime I haven't done
A              F                  G              D
Someday I'll find that brilliant light breaking dawn
       A               F              G        D          A
Until then, give me strength to carry on carry on carry on
