Count to Ten  ≡ 

von Tina Dico

-- Verse

B- There are faces, there are smiles
  So many teeth, too many arms and legs
  And eyes and flashing buttons all A around me
  I'm B- watching, I'm breathing, I'm pushing, I'm wishing
  That these walls would not be talking quite so A loudly
  I have G burnt down once before, I've pulled my- A self up from the floor
  And I am G looking for a reason to stay A standing
  But some- B- times it's just too much
  Or it's just not enough with something else
  It's so much bigger than my head, it's too A demanding

-- Verse

G Sometimes, the A fastest way to get there is to go B- slow
  And G sometimes if you A wanna hold on, you got to let B- go

-- Chorus

  I'm gonna A close my B- eyes
  And A count G to B- ten
  I'm gonna A close my B- eyes
A ~ And when I G open them a- F# gain
A Everything will make sense to me B- then

-- Verse

  I have met so many people, we've exchanged so many words
  We've said it all and we've said nothing but it's changed us
  I have know a lot of men, some were lovers, some were friends
  But all together, were they merely passing strangers?
  They'll control you with their silence
  They'll control you with their words
  And you'll control them with your body's coded signals
  In the wild, entangled gardens of our insecurities
  We lose our heads into each other's hidden pitfalls

-- Verse

  Sometimes, the fastest way to get there is to go slow
  And sometimes if you wanna hold on, you got to let go

-- Chorus

  I'm gonna close my eyes
  And count to ten
  I'm gonna close my eyes
  And when I open them again
  Everything will make sense to me then

  And when I open them again
  Everything will make sense to me then
