Verse:
G Cm G
This is a life of extremes
G Cm G
Both sides are slippery and enticing

These are my places off the rails

And this my loose recollection of a falling
G Cm G
I barely remember who I failed
G Cm G
I was just trying to keep it together
Chorus:
Em C
This is my first wave of my white flag
G D
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
Em C
This my surrender if that’s what you call it
G D C
In the anatomy of my crash
G Cm G
And I keep on smiling
Cm G
Keep on moving
Cm G
Can’t stand still

Me the notorious bottom dweller
G Cm G
Me the ceiling-less brave explorer
G Cm G
Lured to the ends of overwhelm
Chorus:
Em C
This is my first wave of my white flag
G D
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
Em C
This my surrender if that’s what you call it

In the anatomy of my crash

And I keep on smiling

Keep on moving

Can’t stand still

Such pretty forks in the road
G Cm G
On this continuum I’ve been bouncing

Life flashing promise before my eyes

In the anatomy of my crash

And I keep on smiling

Keep on moving

Can’t stand still
