B
Steady yourself even though you know that you're
 F#
fallin'
              G#m                        E
Maybe you're fallin', but you're still alive
B                                            F#
Ready yourself, that's quite enough of your bawlin'
                    G#m                     E
'Cause baby, you're bawling, but you'll survive
B      F#        G#m           E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

E                 F#
Losing is only a sign
            G#m                          B
It's only a sign that you really tried, really tried
E                 F#
Losing is only a sign
            G#m                           B
It's only a sign that you really tried, really tried

Chorus:
   B                            F#
Forever trading places with the same old me
    G#m                       E
And racking up the cases of who I failed to be
B
Why would I replace the sky?
      F#                          G#m
Why would I recreate that perfect blue?
                         E
What would I change it to?
               B
Oh, won't you tell me?
                       F#
What would I change it to?
              G#m
Oh, won't you tell me?
                        E
What would I change it to?

B      F#        G#m           E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
B      F#        G#m           E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

You can copy and paste your head on a new body
But that new body's still made of flesh
And cutting corners gets you where you're going
But how you get there is the real test

And losing is only a sign
It's only a sign that you really tried, really tried
And losing is only a sign
It's only a sign that you really tried, really tried

Chorus

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
