Em C Em D G 

[Verse 1]
G
 Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Em
 Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
    C
 Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away
       D
 But if Mama was here I know what Mama would say


[Chorus]
      G         Em
 Carry on, Carry on
                            C       D     G
 What don't kill us makes us strong, Carry on


[Verse 2]
G
 Little sister's husband ran off with her best friend
Em
 Left her and the babies all alone again
C
 It hurts to know the hurt that she's going through
  D
 I know that she'll do what she's gotta do


[Chorus]
      G         Em
 Carry on, Carry on
                            C       D     G
 What don't kill us makes us strong, Carry on


[Bridge]
  C                            D
 Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
       C                          D
 You're never gonna get nowhere by runnin' scared
       C                                     A                 C
 If you look down deep inside you'll find the faith to make you strong
   D        Em  C Em D C D G
 Oh oh carry on


[Verse 3]
G
 I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Em
 Don't let no shadows tangle up my feet
C
 There ain't no troubles that we can't rise above
       D
 With a hand full of faith and a heart full of love


[Chorus]
      G         Em
 Carry on, Carry on
                            C       D     G
 What don't kill us makes us strong, Carry on


[Tag]

 Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, Umm Hmm, Carry on
