Intro:] G    A#    Dm  Dm C A#   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
Chorus:]
              G
So, when your heart cries out
                   A#
In the middle of a sleepless night
                       Dm    Dm C A#
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
Chorus:]
              G
So, when your heart cries out
                   A#
In the middle of a sleepless night
                            Dm    Dm C A#
And you're lost and feeling lonely
When seconds count
C
Count on me
D
Count on me
Chorus:]
          G
When your dream dies hard
                    A#
And you're stranded out on the boulevard
                   Dm       Dm C A#
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
          A#
To how it used to be
Instrumental:] Dm    A#    Dm    A#    Dm    A#
Bridge:]
           C
Now it's a race with time
       G
'Til I change your mind
Chorus:]
          G
When your heart cries out
                   A#
In the middle of a sleepless night
                            Dm    Dm C A#
And you're lost and feeling lonely
When seconds count
C
Count on me
D
Count on me
Chorus:]
          G
When your dream dies hard
                    A#
And you're stranded out on the boulevard

I'll be there in a heartbeat
When seconds count

Count on me
