When Seconds Count tab by Survivor

[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


[CHORUS:]
       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


[CHORUS:]
       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


[CHORUS:]
     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


[CHORUS:]
     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


[CHORUS:]
     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
