If a steady head doesn't rule my heart,
AmC
will it lead me to somewhere happy enough?

And I'm a sorry soul in a sinful world

DEmAm
If I meet myself in a half way home,
Bm
and I'll remember the things you said.
Chorus 1CD
Love isn't always fair,
EmG
but that's no reason to be so cruel to me.

Hold on to what is there,
EmD
and count the saints.

And the hopes I hold in my careful hands
C
(and they don't get out alive)

Who couldn't keep his promises.
