Verse 1

            C                   Em

Just so you know, I'm right her next to you



             F       Fm                                     C

At least for now, do you still think that this can all work out?



              Em                           F

But you can't see the trees, and when your minds made up



       Fm                                  C

You'll do what's wrong against what you believe



        C/B

On your knee...



CHORUS:



F                                    C

Count out all the years between your lives



   F                                 C    C/B

To make it all make sense; it's only ti---me



    F                                        C

You know they all talk about you, now you've left the downtown lights



            G                                C (back to Intro chords)

And they're standing on the shore of your decline





VERSE 2 (same as Verse 1)



And no one calls, like they used to do

But you don't mind, that all the friends you had got left behind

Now you've got it made, shotgun wedding bells

We'll all sit back and watch the masquerade

Every day...



CHOURUS:

F                                    C

Count out all the years between your lives



   F                                 C    C/B

To make it all make sense; it's only ti---me



    F                                     C

You know we all laugh about you, and you know the reasons why

          G                               Am 

We're all standing on the shore of your decline





BRIDGE:

      C

C'mon take your time



     F

Look down from on high



G                                                 Am

Vows that you won't mean but you'll fight on that lie



          C

C'mon say goodbye



      F                   G               C          C/B    G    G7

'Cos every thing is gonna be, it'll be alright...





CHORUS:



F                                    C

Count out all the years between your lives



   F                                 C    C/B

To make it all make sense; it's only ti---me



    F                                        C

You know they all talk about you man, and we know that come July

          G                               C (back to Intro chords to fade)

We'll be standing on the shore of your decline
