And Gmaj7count all the Em7cracks in the sidewalk C/DinstGead.
Seventeen streetlights stand in between my house and yours
How do I know? I count them every night
While tracing my steps from my house to yours
To the golden glow of your window light
Wish somehow you knew how long I've been in love with you
And wishin' I were dead
I count all the cracks in the sidewalk on my way home to bed.
