Intro: E D G A
Mmm, ooh, yeah, ooh
E D G A
I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
E D G A
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
E D G A
Been feeling like nothing's been going my way lately
E D
But I decided right here, right now
G A
That my outlook's gonna change, that's why I'm gonna
E D
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
G A
Every time somebody hurt my pride
E D
Feeling like they won't let me live my life and
G A
Take the time to look at what is mine
E D G A
I see, every blessing, so clearly
E D G A
And I thank God, for what, I got from above
E D G A
I believe they can take anything from me, but they
E D G A
Can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me
E D G A
They can say all they wanna say about me, but I
E D
I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
G
I'ma keep on (keep on)
A
Singing my song, yeah yeah
E D G A
I never wanna dwell on the pain again, ooh no no
E D G A
There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then, oh, oh no
E D G
Remembering too well the hell I felt
A
When I was running out of faith, oh
E D
Every step I'm about to take
G A
Well it's towards a better day, 'Cause I'm about to
E D
Say farewell to every single lie
G A
And all the fears I've held too long inside
E D
Every time I felt I couldn't try
G A
All the negativity and strife
E D G A
Cause too long, I've been, struggling, couldn't go on
E D G A
But now, I've found, I'm feeling strong and I'm moving on
E D G A
I believe they can take anything from me, but they
E D G A
Can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me
E D G A
Now they can say all they wanna say about me, but I
E D
I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
G
I'ma keep on (keep on)
A E D G A E D G A
Singing my song (la la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaa)
C7
Every time I tried to be
D7
What they wanted from me
E
It never came naturally
E
So I ended up in misery
E
Was unable to see
E
All the good around me
C7
Wasting so much energy
D7
On what they thought of me
E
Than simply just remembering to breathe, ohh ooh
E/F# G G/A
Ohh, I've learned
C7
I'm humanly unable to please
D7
Everyone at the same time
E
So now I find, my peace of mind
E
Living one day at a time
E D
In the end I answer to one God
G
Comes down to one love
A
Till I get to heaven above
E D
I have made the decision
D
Never to give in
A
Till the day I die no matter what
E D
I'm gonna carry on
G A
I'ma keep on, mmm
E D G A E D G A
Singing my song... (la la la la la la la... )
E D G A
I believe they can take anything from me
(I believe, yeah)
E D D A
But they can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me
(Oh, oh)
E D G A
They can say what they wanna say about me
E D
But I'm, I'm gonna carry on,
G A E
I'mma keep on.. singing my song....
