[Verse 1]
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
F#m A E x3
