Key: D5

Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Intro: Bm- - E5 - F#m-- x2


Verse 1:
B5
  That's just like me when 
G5                 D5
everything's gone wrong
   F#5         G5
To latch onto something 
      A5          B5
less stable less good
  G5         D5
I needed an anchor 
    A5          D5
for my sinking ship
          E5           B5
It's just like me to attach 
         A5        D5
it to my heart instead


Refrain:
B5           E5    F#5             
I think this was a test
           B5
To see how long I 
                    E5 F#m(hold)
could hold my breath


Chorus 1:
        D5
I understand but I
               F#5
gotta remind myself
                B5
That even at my worst
              C5
I can keep my head 
(I can keep my head)
         D5
Alone I stand
                F#5
United we fall apart
    B5          A5
One union under god
B5            A5
  But not for long thankfully


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


Verse 2:
B5
  That's just like me when 
G5               D5
everything else fails
   F#5        G5
To go for the gold
    A5        B5
unattainable goals
 G5            D5
Enough's not enough when 
       A5           D5
you're beat to the floor
      E5
As if heartache's not 
B5         A5        D5
heartache enough anymore


(Repeat Refrain)


Chorus 2:
        D5
I understand but I
               F#5
gotta remind myself
                B5
That even at my worst
              C5
I can keep my head 
(I can keep my head)
         D5
Alone I stand
                F#5
United we fall apart
    B5          A5
One union under god
B5            A5              G(hold) F#5 - E5 - F#m-
  But not for long thankfully


Bridge:
D5                             D5
  When we were young we never cared
    G5          A5           A5 B5 G5
And now we're scared of jumping in
           A5         G5   A5  D5
Like we've forgotten how to swim
                        D5
But if we try and if we tread
     G5       A5       A5    B5  G5
Then we can teach ourselves again
           A5         G5      A5  D5
Cause it's worth the chance we take
                            D5
When we were young we never cared
    G5          A5           A5 B5 G5
And now we're scared of jumping in
           A5         G5   A5
Like we've forgotten how to swim
D5
But I think that we should
        D5      G5
try and we should tread
      A5     A5  B5
Cause if we never take
        G5
another dip again
      A5              G5
We'll never know the joy
     A5       Bm- - E5 - F#m-
that failure brings


Chorus 3:
        D5
I understand but I
               F#5
gotta remind myself
                B5
That even at my worst
              C5
I can keep my head 
(I can keep my head)
         D5
Alone I stand
                F#5
United we fall apart
    B5          A5
One union under god
B5            A5
  But not for long
    B5          A5
One union under god
B5            A5
  But not for long
        Bm- - E5 - F#m-
thankfully
