Count To Ten

Am/G 3x2210
Am/F 1x2210
Am/E 0x2210

Basically you just finger the D and 
G strings on the 2nd fret and change
 the bass
note as required. You can use your 
thumb over the neck to play the F on
 the 6th string.


This is the picking pattern used 
throughout the song e.g. for Am:

  Am
E|---------------|---------------|
B|---------------|---------------|
G|------2-------2|------2-------2|
D|----2---0h2-2--|----2---0h2-2--|
A|0--------------| 0--------------
E|---------------|---------------|

E|---------------|---------------|  
B|---------------|---------------|  
G|------2-------2|------2-------2|  
D|----2---0h2-2--|----2---0h2-2--|  
A||0--------------|0--------------| 
E|---------------|---------------|  

  T   T i T   T i T   T i T   T i T 
  T i T   T i T   T i T   T i

Right hand fingerpicking: T = thumb,
 i = index. Tina uses a thumb pick 
which
accentuates the bass notes nicely.

When the chord has an asterisk (*), 
switch to this pattern:

Am*
E|---------------|---------------|
B|---------------|---------------|
G|------2-------2|------2-------2|
D|----2-------2--|----2-------2--|
A|0-------0------| 0-------0------
E|---------------|---------------|

  T   T i T   T i T   T i T   T i

For the Am/F** in the first chorus, 
just pluck the 6th string once and 
let it ring.

[Intro]
 Am

[Verse 1]
           Am
There are faces, there are smiles, 
so many teeth, too many arms and 
legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all 
  Am/G
around me
     Am
I'm watching, I'm breathing, I'm 
pushing, I'm wishing
That these walls would not be 
                  Am/G
talking quite so loudly
        Am/F                       
I have burnt down once before, I've
           Am/G
 pulled myself up from the floor
Continúa después del anuncio
          Am/F                  
And I am looking for a reason to 
       Am/G
stay standing
         Am
But sometimes it's just too much,  
it's not enough, it's something else
It's so much bigger than my head, 
            Am/G
it's too demanding

[Chorus]
 Am/F          Am/G            
Sometimes the fastest way to get 
                  Am
there is to go slow
     Am/F               Am/G      
And sometimes when you wanna hold 
                   Am
on you got to let go
          Am/G*    Am*       
I'm gonna close my eyes, and 
Am/G*   Am/F*  Am
count   to     ten
          Am/G*    Am*   Am/G*   
I'm gonna close my eyes,   and 
     Am/F*       Am/E*
when I open them again
Am/G*                 Am/F**     
Everything will make sense to me 
    Am
then

[Verse 2]
        Am
I have met so many people, we've 
exchanged so many words
We've said it all and we've said 
                  Am/G
nothing but it's changed us
        Am
I have known a lot of men, some were
 lovers, some were friends
But all together were they merely 
         Am/G
passing strangers?
            Am/F              
They'll control you with their 
                      Am/G
silence, they'll control you with 
their words
               Am/F              
And you'll control them with your 
               Am/G
body's coded signals
        Am
In the wild, entangled gardens of 
our insecurities
We lose our heads into each other's 
        Am/G
hidden pitfalls

[Chorus]
 Am/F          Am/G            
Sometimes the fastest way to get 
                  Am
there is to go slow
     Am/F               Am/G      
And sometimes when you wanna hold 
                   Am
on you got to let go
          Am/G*    Am*       
I'm gonna close my eyes, and 
Am/G*   Am/F*   Am
count   to      ten
          Am/G*    Am*   Am/G*   
I'm gonna close my eyes,   and 
     Am/F*       Am/E*
when I open them again
Am/G*                 Am/F*   
Everything will make sense to me 
     Am/F     Am/G     Am     Am
then

[Bridge]
Am/F    Am/G     Am     Am
Am/F    Am/G     Am     Am
Am/F    Am/G     Am     Am

[Chorus]
 Am/F          Am/G            
Sometimes the fastest way to get 
                  Am
there is to go slow
     Am/F               Am/G      
And sometimes when you wanna hold 
                   Am
on you got to let go
          Am/G*    Am*       
I'm gonna close my eyes, and 
Am/G*   Am/F*  Am
count   to     ten
          Am/G*    Am*   Am/G*   
I'm gonna close my eyes,   and 
     Am/F*       Am/E*
when I open them again
Am/G*                 Am/F***  
(Silence)
Everything will make sense to me 
then
