A Promise You Can't Keep Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I heard you swe[C]ar your
love this [G]morning
And it caught me almost
want[D]ing to be[G]lieve
The three little [C]words that
serve as warn[G]ing
And say it's just a [D]promise you
can't keep
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
A statement that's been so [G]used
I felt compelled to tell [D]you
But knew there wasn't
much to [G]say[Am][G][C]
I could have threatened [G]leavin'
Or listed hopeless [A]reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
Three little [C]words should be my warning
[G]'Cause I know that it's a pro[D]mise you can't

[Interlude 1]
keep
[G][C][Gdim][G][D]
[G][Am][G][C]

[Verse 4]
A statement [C]that's been so [G]used
I felt compelled to tell [D]you
But knew there wasn't
much to [G]say[Am][G][C]
I could have threatened [G]leavin'
Or listed hopeless [A]reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
Three little [C]words should
be my warn[G]ing
'Cause I know that it's a
[D]promise you can't keep
[G]

[Verse 6]
I heard you [C]swear your love this [G]morning
