[Verse]
Bb
If I kept a list of every
D
Single second that I've lived
        Eb
There's no way in the world
     F
That my list would
line up with yours
Bb
If I saw your top ten seconds
D
I wouldn't make an
honorable mention
    Eb
But if you need a temporary love
F
I'd be number one

[Chorus]
                  Bb
And you'd lead me on
        D
Make me need you
         Eb
Waste my time
I'll run the race but
                     Ebm
I'll never reach the finish line

[Verse]
Bb
Seconds are a bit specific
    D
But even if the list was minutes
        Eb
There's no doubt in my mind
     F
That yours would not compare to mine
Bb
I know that you'll end it all
    D
And make our seconds expendable
    Eb
But don't you dare take my hand
     F
I'll write this list again

[Chorus]
                  Bb
And you'd lead me on
        D
Make me need you
         Eb
Waste my time
I'll run the race but I'll
                F
never reach the finish line
        Bb
Lead me on
        D
Tell me how much you like me
        Eb
Take my life
I'll do my best but there's
                 Ebm
no way that I'll win this fight

[Bridge]
Bb
Love me like you mean it
        D
For the short time that we spend
             Eb
And when you leave, do it quietly
   Bb                 F
So I don't think that it's the end
Bb
We were never special
      Dm
I was not too blind for that
         Eb
You know passion doesn't make up
        F
For the sympathy lack

[Chorus]
                  Bb
And you'd lead me on
        D
Make me need you
         Eb
Waste my time

I'll run the race but I'll
                F
never reach the finish line
        Bb
Lead me on
        D
Tell me how much you like me
        Eb
Take my life
I'll do my best but there's
                 F
no way that I'll win this fight
        Bb
Lead me on
        D
Make me need you
         Eb
Waste my time
I'll run the race but I'll
                Ebm
never reach the finish line
