N.C.                           G7              C
The countdown has started 'til my world falls apart
[Verse 1]
  C                                         C7     F
I just received the papers and the sad news I must face

                     C          D7                 G7
In thirty days, I'll lose you unless I contest the case

    C                               C7        F
But I won't try to hold you if I've lost your heart

        G7                                         C    C7
And the countdown has started 'til my world falls apart
[Verse 2]
      F                                      C                     C7
I can only hope you'll change your mind as I count each lonely day

       F                                  D7              G7
And as I count all the long, dark nights, all I can do is pray

     C                                         C7      F
Then my love will act as lawyer to step in and take my part

        G7                                         C    F  C
But the countdown has started 'til my world falls apart
[Interlude] G7 C C7 [Verse 3]
         F                                  C                  C7
I've run out of days, so now I'll count the hours, twenty-four

         F                                       D7                     G7
And I'll still be counting minutes when you walk through the courthouse door

       C                                   C7       F
Hoping you won't push the button that will break my heart

    G7                                         C
The countdown has started 'til my world falls apart
