E                          F#m 
Different ways of counting
          A                       E          
Fingers running through your hair
                        F#m
Ten to twenty lifelines
         A                    C#m 
If you doubt how this compares
                        F#m
There's fear enough to share
  A               C#m
A fear of loathing
                F#m
So easy how you bear
             G#m     A            E
The trace of me without you there


[Chorus]
                   C
So fall like the snow 
A                 E
Too much too slow
                C
Too fragile to say 
        A               C#m
Hanging over every day
                        F#
A breeze with contempt
     A              E
To shame the others
               C
A story's too thin
          A              E
To cover all your lovers


F#m A E x3


[Verse 2]

E                           F#m
Count me out your standards
        A                   E
Shadow trade in competence
                      F#m
Ten to twenty answers
          A                C#m
Shouting down on confidence
                     F#m
Too easy not to share
    A              C#m
To vain for secrets
                      F#m
There's fear enough in 
                  A                    E
There a taste of need in someone's care


[Chorus]
                   C
So fall like the snow 
A                 E
Too much too slow
                C
Too fragile to say 
        A               C#m
Hanging over every day
                        F#
A breeze with contempt
     A              E
To shame the others
               C
A story's too thin
          A              E
To cover all your lovers
