~~ The example above shows the verse, but it can be applied to every other section of the song!
~~ I would recommend muting the higher e-string if you strum the chords, this fits the song better
in my opinion.
~~ Tip: It also sounds nice to play a good old Cadd9 in the chorus ;)
[Intro]
EmEm
[Verse]
EmG
I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
DEm
Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
EmG
I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
DEm
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
EmG
There's no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
DEm
And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
EmG
Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road - can't worry 'bout
DEm
what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road
EmG
I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong
DEm
I try to keep on keeping on
GDEm
Yeah I just keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
CGDEm
I hear a voice calling, calling out for me
CGDEm
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
CGDEm
Be it for reason, be it for love
CGDCGEm
I won't take the easy road
[Bridge]
EmGDEm
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
EmGDEm
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
[Verse]
EmG
I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon
DEm
Having no idea who or what or where I am
EmG
Something good comes with the bad, a song's never just sad
DEm
There's hope, there's a silver lining
GDEm
Show me my silver lining
GDEm
Show me my silver lining
[Chorus]
CGDEm
I hear a voice calling, calling out for me
CGDEm
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
CGDEm
Be it for reason, be it for love
CGDCGEm
I won't take the easy road
[Bridge]
EmGDEm
I won't take the easy road the easy road, the easy road (oho)
EmGDEm
I won't take the easy road the easy road, the easy road (oho)
EmGDEm
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
EmGDEm
Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
[Outro]
GDEm
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
GDEm
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
GDEm
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
G D Em N.C.
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
