F A# Anything's hard to change F A# But hey I got you down on your knees again Gm You watch the sky D# A# It's a pale parade of passing clouds F A# That cover the bed upon which we laid in the dark F A# And the memories that I made Gm Of a laughing girl D# But you're just my toy A# F And I can't stop playing with you baby Chorus: A# D# If you think you need to go A# D# If you wanted to be free A# Cm There's just one thing you need to know Gm F A# And that's that you can't count on me I'm coming along real good But I still can't do most of the things I should I watch the sky coming down to bury me... And I can't stop this crawling out of my skin I know that you see yourself flying in out of the sky Coming down to carry me but I won't come out So if you think you need to go If you wanted to be free There’s one thing you need to know And that’s that you can’t count on me F A# I watch all of the same parades F A# As they pass on the days that you wish you'd stayed Gm But all this pain D# Gets me high A# F And I get off and you know why Chorus: So if you think you need to go If you wanted to be free There’s just one thing you’ll need to know And that’s that you can’t count on me - x2 Gm F A# D# Oh, you can't count on me....
