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