Intro
Bm--Em-F#m-- x2
Verse 1:
D#m
That's just like me when

everything's gone wrong
A# B
To latch onto something
C# D#m
less stable less good

I needed an anchor

for my sinking ship
G#m D#m
It's just like me to attach
C# F#
it to my heart instead

D#m G#m A#m
I think this was a test

To see how long I

could hold my breath
Chorus 1:
F#
I understand but I
A#
gotta remind myself
D#m
That even at my worst

I can keep my head

United we fall apart

One union under god

everything else fails

unattainable goals

you're beat to the floor

heartache enough anymore

Bridge:
F# F#/A#
When we were young we never cared
B C# C#/F D#m B
And now we're scared of jumping in
C# B C# F#
Like we've forgotten how to swim
F#/A#
But if we try and if we tread
B C# C#/F D#m B
Then we can teach ourselves again
C# B C# F#
Cause it's worth the chance we take
F#/A#
When we were young we never cared
B C# C#/F D#m B
And now we're scared of jumping in
C# B C#
Like we've forgotten how to swim
F#
But I think that we should
F#/A# B
try and we should tread

Cause if we never take
B
another dip again
C# B
We'll never know the joy
C# Bm--Em-F#m-
that failure brings

But not for long
