Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Intro: Bm- - Em - F#m-- x2


Verse 1:
Bm
  That's just like me when 
G                 D
everything's gone wrong
   F#         G
To latch onto something 
      A          Bm
less stable less good
  G         D/F#
I needed an anchor 
    A          D
for my sinking ship
          Em           Bm
It's just like me to attach 
         A        D
it to my heart instead


Refrain:
Bm           Em    F#m             
I think this was a test
           Bm
To see how long I 
                    Em F#m(hold)
could hold my breath


Chorus 1:
        D
I understand but I
               F#
gotta remind myself
                Bm
That even at my worst
              C
I can keep my head 
(I can keep my head)
         D
Alone I stand
                F#
United we fall apart
    Bm          A
One union under god
Bm            A
  But not for long thankfully


Post chorus: Bm--Em-F#m- x2


Verse 2:
Bm
  That's just like me when 
G               D
everything else fails
   F#m        G
To go for the gold
    A        Bm
unattainable goals
 G            D/F#
Enough's not enough when 
       A           D
you're beat to the floor
      Em
As if heartache's not 
Bm         A        D
heartache enough anymore


(Repeat Refrain)


Chorus 2:
        D
I understand but I
               F#
gotta remind myself
                Bm
That even at my worst
              C
I can keep my head 
(I can keep my head)
         D
Alone I stand
                F#
United we fall apart
    Bm          A
One union under god
Bm            A              G(hold) F#m - Em - F#m-
  But not for long thankfully


Bridge:
D                             D/F#
  When we were young we never cared
    G          A           A/C# Bm G
And now we're scared of jumping in
           A         G   A  D
Like we've forgotten how to swim
                        D/F#
But if we try and if we tread
     G       A       A/C#    Bm  G
Then we can teach ourselves again
           A         G      A  D
Cause it's worth the chance we take
                            D/F#
When we were young we never cared
    G          A           A/C# Bm G
And now we're scared of jumping in
           A         G   A
Like we've forgotten how to swim
D
But I think that we should
        D/F#      G
try and we should tread
      A     A/C#  Bm
Cause if we never take
        G
another dip again
      A              G
We'll never know the joy
     A       Bm- - Em - F#m-
that failure brings


Chorus 3:
        D
I understand but I
               F#
gotta remind myself
                Bm
That even at my worst
              C
I can keep my head 
(I can keep my head)
         D
Alone I stand
                F#
United we fall apart
    Bm          A
One union under god
Bm            A
  But not for long
    Bm          A
One union under god
Bm            A
  But not for long
        Bm- - Em - F#m-
thankfully
