[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
