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

Chorus:
         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

That's just like me when everything else fails
To go for the gold, the unattainable goals
Enough's not enough when you're beat to the floor
As if heartache's not heartache enough anymore

I think this was a test
To see how long I could hold my breath

Chorus

D                            D  
When we were young we never cared
     G          A           A   Bm G
And now we're scared of jumping in
            A         G   A  D
Like we've forgotten how to swim
                         D  
But if we try and if we tread
      G       A        A      Bm  G
Then we can teach ourselves again
            A          G     A  D
Cause it's worth the chance we take
                             D  
When we were young we never cared
     G          A            A   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          G
try and we should tread
      A      A    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:
I understand, but I gotta remind myself
That even at my worst I can keep my head
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under God
But not for long
One union under God
But not for long, thankfully
