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....
