D/F# 2x0232 [Intro] | Gm | Cm | Gm | Cm | [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 C
I was just trying to keep it together
[Pre-Chorus]
           Em               C
This is my first wave of my white flag

            G                   D/F#    
This is the sound of me hitting bottom

          Em                          C
This my surrender, if that's what you call it

        G      D/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 C
Lured to the ends of overwhelm
[Pre-Chorus]
           Em                C
This is my first wave of the white flag

            G                   D/F#    
This is the sound of me hitting bottom

          Em                        C
This my surrender, if that's what I call it

        G      D/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 C
Life flashing promise before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
           Em                C
This is my first wave of the white flag

            G                   D/F#    
This is the sound of me hitting bottom

          Em                C
This my surrender, if I can bare it

        G      D/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
