verse 1 
G         Cm        G 
This is a life of extremes 
               Cm             G 
Both sides are slippery and enticing 
             Cm             G     Cm 
These are my places off the rails 

verse 2 
    G                  Cm            G 
And this, my loose recollection of a falling 
           Cm           G 
I barely remember who I failed 
           Cm                  G      Eb Cm 
I was just trying to keep it together 

Pre-Chorus 
           Em               C 
This is my first wave of my white flag 
            G                   Gsus2/F# 
This is the sound of me hitting bottom 
          Em                          C 
This my surrender, if that's what you call it 
        G      Gsus2/F# C 
In the anatomy of my    crash 

Chorus 
    G Cm       G 
And I keep on smiling 
Cm      G 
Keep on moving 
Cm           G    Cm 
Can't stand still 

verse 3 
G         Cm              G 
Me, the notorious bottom dweller 
           Cm                G 
Me, the ceiling-less brave explorer 
             Cm            G   Eb Cm 
Lured to the ends of overwhelm 

Pre-Chorus 
           Em                C 
This is my first wave of the white flag 
            G                   Gsus2/F# 
This is the sound of me hitting bottom 
          Em                        C 
This my surrender, if that's what I call it 
        G      Gsus2/F# C 
In the anatomy of my    crash 

Chorus 
    G Cm       G 
And I keep on smiling 
Cm      G 
Keep on moving 
Cm           G    Cm 
Can't stand still 

verse 4 
G           Cm           G 
Such pretty forks in the road 
           Cm               G 
On this continuum I've been bouncing 
              Cm             G       Eb Cm 
Life flashing promise before my eyes 

Pre-Chorus 
           Em                C 
This is my first wave of the white flag 
            G                   Gsus2/F# 
This is the sound of me hitting bottom 
          Em                C 
This my surrender, if I can bare it 
        G      Gsus2/F# C 
In the anatomy of my    crash 

Chorus 
    G Cm       G 
And I keep on smiling 
Cm      G 
Keep on moving 
Cm           G    Cm  G Cm 
Can't stand still
