When Seconds Count

[INTRO:] G    Bb    Dm  Dm C Bb

   C   D


[VERSE 1:]
G
Can't remember just how it ended
    Em
I'm hazy as to how it began
G
Crazy how our lives got so tangled
          Em
Now we're simply silent partners 
again
D                  Em
Secretly walking a tightrope
     D/F#                      G
Come fall into the arms of the past


[PD  CHORUS:]
            C              G
'Cause it's still the same me
  D            Em
Still the same you
    C           G              D
Who swore those promises would still
 ring true


[CHORUS:]
              G
So, when your heart cries out
                   Bb
In the middle of a sleepless night
                       Dm    Dm C Bb
And you're suddenly so lonely

When seconds count
C
Count on me
D
Count on me


[VERSE 2:]
G
Special moments taken for granted
  Em
A tenderness that found no reward
G
Funny how you'd speak of forever
Continúa después del anuncio
        Em
Only to wind up restless and bored
    D                       
Can sweethearts, so suddenly 
 Em
strangers
  D/F#                   G
Recapture in a moment of fire


[PD  CHORUS:]
           C              G
Well, it's still the same me
  D            Em
Still the same you
    C        G              D
The same two children, deep down 
it's true


[CHORUS:]
              G
So, when your heart cries out
                   Bb
In the middle of a sleepless night
                            Dm    
And you're lost and feeling lonely
Dm C Bb


When seconds count
C
Count on me
D
Count on me


[CHORUS:]
          G
When your dream dies hard
                    Bb
And you're stranded out on the 
boulevard
                   Dm       Dm C Bb
I'll be there in a heartbeat

When seconds count
C
Count on me
D            Dm
Count on me


[BRIDGE:]
          C
I'm going back in time
          Bb
To how it used to be



[INSTRUMENTAL:] Dm    Bb    Dm    

Bb    Dm    Bb


[BRIDGE:]
           C
Now it's a race with time
       G
'Til I change your mind


[CHORUS:]
          G
When your heart cries out
                   Bb
In the middle of a sleepless night
                            Dm    
And you're lost and feeling lonely
Dm C Bb


When seconds count
C
Count on me
D
Count on me


[CHORUS:]
          G
When your dream dies hard
                    Bb
And you're stranded out on the 
boulevard
                   Dm       Dm C Bb
I'll be there in a heartbeat

When seconds count
C
Count on me
D                     G
You can always count on me
