Those Who Carried On

  Em
Inside their little world,
     C
They tried to be understood,
    D                         Em
But all that came of it was a mess
           Em
So sort it out in conversations
  C              D
Devout apparitions
D                               Em    D
Would say they’re horrid nonetheless

[Verse 2]
     B                     Em
Once more, their heads are caving in
          Am                          Em        Bm
There’s a window that jarred on their conscience
     B                   G
Once more, they’ve left remembering
       C                          D
To the people who picked up their arms and legs
            Em
And carried on

[Verse 31]
             Em             D
They pulled apart their own ego at the seams,
C                 Bm
And spilled their organs everywhere
Em        D
Caught in polarized degrees,
C              G
They may decay again, so beware
B         D           Em
These are people too backwards to die out
B        D       G             Em
They may never escape from the rise, now
B        D          Em
They may never come back

[Verse 4]
          Em
Crumbling still,
                   C
Their little world rebuilt
C
What couldn’t be endured
     D                               Em  D
Now, there’s nothing left to go to waste
           Em
So sort it out with new perspectives
C
Reused and defective,
D                           Em    D
They challenged odds face-to-face

[Verse 5]
     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
          Em                C    D
Something over and over and over again
            Em
And carried on

[Verse 6]
                   Em
So after all these years,
       D                   C
They remained a form of art
C             D
‘cus they had problems from the start
Em          D
Though they acted on a dare,
C               G                   B
There’s nothing stopping them, so beware
B         D           Em
These are people too fearless to die out,
B              D      G              D
Though they’ll never escape from the rise
B
Now…

[Outro]
B   C   Em
      Em
You’d say that things have improved…
       B   C   Em
Right?
      Em
You’d say that things have improved!
N.C.
Right?
