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....
     Gm        F        A#
No, you can't count on me
