Count The Saints

       C                      D
If I close my eyes, will it come to 
life?
        Am                   Bm
Is it something I'm dreaming of?
       C                  D    
If a steady head doesn't rule my 
           Em
heart,
         Am                    C
will it lead me to somewhere happy 
enough?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
            Em              Am 
And I'm a sorry soul in a sinful 
          Bm
world
                    C
(and you don't get out alive)
      D                Em         
If I meet myself in a half way 
    Am
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.

[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  
then arrange it all into simple 
            Em
lines.
       Am                    C
To be part of a world where love can
 reside.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
         Em                  Am   
And the hopes I hold in my careful
         Bm
 hands
                     C
(and they don't get out alive)
       D                  Em      
and I gave myself to an honest man
   Am

              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.

 C                   D
Love isn't always fair,

but that's no reason to be so cruel 
to me.
 Am                   G
Hold on to what is there,
                Em
and count the saints.

And count the saints,
                  C
and count the saints.
