Promises Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Cheap per[D]fume and painted faces
Fallen [A]angles fill [D]the places
Where I [G]go when my troubles
pull me [D]down[A][D][G]
And [D]all the lies I know they'll tell me
And the time that they will sell me
For [E]a while I'll be the
biggest man [A]in town

[Verse 2]
Back at [D]home in bed she's [A]crying
For her [D]love for me is dying
But she'll [G]pray I'll make it safely
through [D]the night
When the [A]morning sun starts showing
To her [G]bedside I'll be going
And she'll [D]hold me while [A]I
face the morning [D]light[A][D]
[G]And[A] I'll make

[Verse 3]
[D]promises,
promises to change
I'll make [F#]her promises
and swear I'll rearrange
And I'll [G]start giving all
the love she needs
If only [A]she will [G]stay[A]

[Verse 4]
Once [D]again she'll reassure me
And I believe her [A]love will [D]cure me
And I'll [G]fall asleep with
tears on [D]my face[A][D]
Lord, I know she's just a woman
And her love can't last forever
[E]And someday soon I know
She'll leave without [A]a trace
[Bm]For brok[A]en

[Verse 5]
[D]promises will tear
her dreams apart
Just [F#]token promises will someday
break her heart
And for [G]the last time she'll
hold me when I cry
And while [A]I'm sleeping [G]she'll
quietly [A]say goodbye
[Bb]

[Outro 1]
[C][C][D]
