Then why do I keep counting?

My sugar sweet

A       D#5
Is so atainable

G#5    C#5       F#5    B5
This behaviour so unexplainable

The days just slip and slide

                 D#5
Like they always did

The trouble is my head

F#                F#m       B
Won't let me forget

If I change my way of living

         F#m                     
And If I pave my streets with the

Will the mountain keep on giving?

And if all of our days are numbered
