~~ 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]

Em
 
[Verse]
Em                                       G
I don't wanna wait anymore, I'm tired of looking for answers
D                                   Em
   Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
Em                                                         G
   I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
  D                              Em
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no, I've gotta go
 
Em                                    G
   There's no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
            D                        Em
And you just gotta keep on keeping on
Em                              G
   Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road - can't worry 'bout
D                                             Em
   what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road
 
Em                                     G
   I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong
D                              Em
   I try to keep on keeping on
G               D                  Em
   Yeah, I just keep on keeping on
 
[Chorus]
C                G        D                 Em
  I hear a voice calling,   calling out for me
C                     G            D           Em
  These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
C           G       D           Em
  Be it for reason,   be it for love
C G     D        C G  Em
I won't take the easy road
 
[Bridge]
Em               G        D      Em
   Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
Em               G        D      Em
   Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
 
[Verse]
Em                             G
  I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon
D                                       Em
  Having no idea who or what or where I am
Em                                 G
  Something good comes with the bad, a song's never just sad
D                                Em
  There's hope, there's a silver lining
 
G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining
G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining
 
[Chorus]
C                G        D                 Em
  I hear a voice calling,   calling out for me
C                     G            D           Em
  These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
C           G       D           Em
  Be it for reason,   be it for love
C G     D        C G  Em
I won't take the easy road
 
[Bridge]
  Em             G              D                   Em
I won't take the easy road, the easy road, the easy road    (oho)
  Em             G              D                   Em
I won't take the easy road, the easy road, the easy road    (oho)
Em               G        D      Em
   Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
Em               G        D      Em
   Oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo, oo-hoo oooh oooh, wooah
 
[Outro]
G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
