1. This is a life of extremes,
Am

both
sides are slippery and enticing,
Am E - Am
these
are my places off the rails.

2. And this, my loose recollection of a falling,
Am E
I barely remember who I failed,
Am E - C - Am
I was just trying to keep it
together.
C#m A
This is my first wave of my white flag,
E B7
this is the sound of me hitting
bottom.
C#m A
This my surrender, if that's what you call it
E A
in the anatomy of my crash.
E Am
E Am E Am E - Am
And I keep on smiling, keep on moving, can't
stand still.

3. Me, the notorious bottom dweller,
Am E
me,
the ceiling-less brave explorer,

lured
to the ends of overwhelm.

4. Such pretty forks in the road
Am

life
flashing promise before my eyes.

This is my first wave of my white flag,

this is the sound of me hitting
bottom.
C#m A
This my surrender, if that's what you call it
E A
in the anatomy of my crash.

And I keep on smiling, keep on moving, can't
stand still.
