verse 1 
              C   Dm   Am 
Sometimes I go right 
                  C   Dm   Am 
When the right way was left 
            C         Dm   Am 
Don't draw inside the lines 
                              C   Dm   Am 
Because the scribbles look so sick 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
              F    Em           Dm 
And who says you can't win them all 
        G# 
If you try 
 
 
 C                               Dm 
They say the higher that you climb 
 
The further when you take the dive 
            F 
But it's comatose 
              Am        G 
And I can't live that closed 
C                              Dm 
They say the higher that you climb 
 
Then when you fall you wonât survive 
           F 
But it's comatose 
             Am           G 
And I can't live that closed 
          F                  Em          Dm 
Cause I don't know how to never try at all 
                  C   Dm   Am 
So cheers to the fall 
 
verse 2 
                      C   Dm   Am 
I can pretend to be perfect 
                           C   Dm   Am 
Or fit into some made up roll 
                                   C   Dm   Am 
But I can make the hand I'm dealt work if 
                   C   Dm   Am 
I decide to never fold 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
              F    Em           Dm 
And who says you can't win them all 
      G# 
If you try 
 
 
C                               Dm 
They say the higher that you climb 
 
The further when you take the dive 
            F 
But it's comatose 
              Am        G 
And I can't live that closed 
C                              Dm 
They say the higher that you climb 
 
Then when you fall you wonât survive 
           F 
But it's comatose 
             Am           G 
And I can't live that closed 
          F                  Em          Dm 
Cause I don't know how to never try at all 
                  F 
So cheers to the fall 
 
Bridge 
            Em               Dm 
Thanks for all your sound advice 
              G# 
That I didn't ask for 
  Am                       G 
I'll take all of it in stride 
             C 
And now I know 
 
 
 C                               Dm 
They say the higher that you climb 
 
The further when you take the dive 
            F 
But it's comatose 
              Am        G 
And I can't live that closed 
C                              Dm 
They say the higher that you climb 
 
Then when you fall you wonât survive 
           F 
But it's comatose 
             Am           G 
And I can't live that closed 
          F                  Em          Dm 
'Cause I don't know how to never try at all 
                  C   Dm   Am 
So cheers to the fall 
 
 
Outro 
N.C. 
I'll learn my lesson but I'll try 
I'll take the climb 
Cheers to the fall 
Cheers to the fall
