Intro

Verse 1
That's just like me when
everything's gone wrong
To latch onto something
less stable less good
I needed an anchor
for my sinking ship
It's just like me to attach
it to my heart instead
Refrain
I think this was a test
To see how long I
could hold my breath
Chorus 1
I understand but I
gotta remind myself
That even at my worst
I can keep my head
(I can keep my head)
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under god
But not for long thankfully
Post chorus: Bm--Em-F#m- x2
Verse 2
That's just like me when
everything else fails
To go for the gold
unattainable goals
Enough's not enough when
you're beat to the floor
As if heartache's not
heartache enough anymore
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 2
I understand but I
gotta remind myself
That even at my worst
I can keep my head
(I can keep my head)
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under god
But not for long thankfully
Bridge
When we were young we never cared
And now we're scared of jumping in
Like we've forgotten how to swim
But if we try and if we tread
Then we can teach ourselves again
Cause it's worth the chance we take
When we were young we never cared
And now we're scared of jumping in
Like we've forgotten how to swim
But I think that we should
try and we should tread
Cause if we never take
another dip again
We'll never know the joy

that failure brings
Chorus 3
I understand but I
gotta remind myself
That even at my worst
I can keep my head
(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
