When Seconds Count(Chords)

	        
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 

Pre-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 


              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 
        Em 
Only to wind up restless and bored 
    D                        Em 
Can sweethearts, so suddenly strangers 
  D/F#                   G 
Recapture in a moment of fire 

Pre-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 

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

When seconds count 
C 
Count on me 
D 
Count on me 


          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 


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

When seconds count 
C 
Count on me 
D 
Count on me 

          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
