Count The Saints

	  		
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. 

 
 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. 

 
 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.
