Intro
G A Bm Em x2
[Verse 1]
G A
If I close my eyes, will it come to life?
Em F#m
Is it something I'm dreaming of?
G A Bm
If a steady head doesn't rule my heart,
Em G
will it lead me to somewhere happy enough?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm Em F#m
And I'm a sorry soul in a sinful world
G
(and you don't get out alive)
A Bm Em
If I meet myself in a half way home,
F#m
and I'll remember the things you said.
[Chorus 1]
G A
Love isn't always fair,
Bm D
but that's no reason to be so cruel to me.
Em D
Hold on to what is there,
Bm A
and count the saints.
G A Bm Em x2
[Verse 2]
G A
There's a reason why we keep it all inside.
Em F#m
To shield my hopes from the raining sky,
G A Bm
then arrange it all into simple lines.
Em G
To be part of a world where love can reside.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm Em F#m
And the hopes I hold in my careful hands
G
(and they don't get out alive)
A Bm Em
and I gave myself to an honest man
F#m
Who couldn't keep his promises.
[Chorus 2]
G A
Love isn't always fair,
Bm D
but that's no reason to be so cruel to me.
Em D
Hold on to what is there,
Bm
and count the saints.
A
And count the saints,
and count the saints.
[Instrumental]
Bm G D Em x4
[Outro Chorus]
G A
Love isn't always fair,
Bm D
but that's no reason to be so cruel to me.
Em D
Hold on to what is there,
Bm
and count the saints.
A
And count the saints,
G
and count the saints.
