Intro
G# A# Cm Fm x2
[Verse 1]
G# A#
If I close my eyes, will it come to life?
Fm Gm
Is it something I'm dreaming of?
G# A# Cm
If a steady head doesn't rule my heart,
Fm G#
will it lead me to somewhere happy enough?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cm Fm Gm
And I'm a sorry soul in a sinful world
G#
(and you don't get out alive)
A# Cm Fm
If I meet myself in a half way home,
Gm
and I'll remember the things you said.
[Chorus 1]
G# A#
Love isn't always fair,
Cm D#
but that's no reason to be so cruel to me.
Fm D#
Hold on to what is there,
Cm A#
and count the saints.
G# A# Cm Fm x2
[Verse 2]
G# A#
There's a reason why we keep it all inside.
Fm Gm
To shield my hopes from the raining sky,
G# A# Cm
then arrange it all into simple lines.
Fm G#
To be part of a world where love can reside.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cm Fm Gm
And the hopes I hold in my careful hands
G#
(and they don't get out alive)
A# Cm Fm
and I gave myself to an honest man
Gm
Who couldn't keep his promises.
[Chorus 2]
G# A#
Love isn't always fair,
Cm D#
but that's no reason to be so cruel to me.
Fm D#
Hold on to what is there,
Cm
and count the saints.
A#
And count the saints,
and count the saints.
[Instrumental]

Love isn't always fair,
Cm D#
but that's no reason to be so cruel to me.
Fm D#
Hold on to what is there,
Cm
and count the saints.
A#
And count the saints,
G#
and count the saints.
