D G
anything’s hard to change
D G
but hey i got you down on your knees again
Em
you watch the sky
C G
it’s a pale parade of passing clouds
D G
that cover the bed upon which we laid in the dark
D G
and the memories that i made

Em
of a laughing girl
C
but you’re just my toy
G D
and i can’t stop playing with you baby

G C
if you think you need to go
G C
if you wanted to be free
G Am
there’s just one thing you need to know
Em D G
and that’s that you can’t count on me

D G
i’m coming along real good
D G
but i still can’t do most of the things i should
Em C G
i watch the sky coming down to bury me . . .
D G
and i can’t stop this crawling out of my skin
D G
i know that you see yourself flying in

Em
out of the sky
C
coming down
G D
to carry me but i won’t come out

G C
so if you think you need to go
G C
if you wanted to be free
G Am
there’s one thing you need to know
Em D G C
and that’s that you can’t count on me . . . .
Em D G
no , you can’t count on me

( D ) – G
Am – G
Em – D – C

D G
i watch all of the same parades
D G
as they pass on the days that you wish you’d stayed

Em
but all this pain
C
gets me high
G D
and i get off and you know why

G C
so if you think you need to go
G C
if you wanted to be free
G Am
there’s one thing you need to know
Em D G
and that’s that you can’t count on me

G C
so if you think you need to go
G C
if you wanted to be free
G Am
there’s just one thing you need to know
Em D G C
and that’s that you can’t count on me . . . .
Em D G C

no , you can’t count on me
