[Intro]
[G - Cm - G - Cm]
[Verse]
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]
    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]
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]
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
