Why Do I Keep Counting
Album: Sam's Town

Eb Bb
There's a plane and I am flying
C# B
There's a mountain waiting for me
Eb Bb
Oh these years have been so trying
C# B
I don't know if I can use them
Eb Bb
Am I strong enough to be the one? (Am I strong enough to be the one?)
C# B
Will I live to have some children? (Children)

Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
Bb
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down

If I only knew the answer
Ab Bb Ab/Bb
I wouldn't be bothering you, Father
Eb
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
Bb
Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down
Cm Bb
If I only knew the answer
Ab Abm
And if all our days are numbered
Eb
Then why do I keep counting?

Like they always did
