Promises

E

[Verse]
A      E
Cheap perfume and painted faces
               B    A    E
Fallen angles fill the places
 A                                   E
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
 E
All the lies I know they'll tell me
         E                   B   E
And the time that they will sell me
       F#m                          B
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town
         E
Back at home in bed she's crying
                         E
For her love for me is dying
            A                                  E
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night
           B
When the mornin' sun starts showing
          A
To her bedside I'll be going
            E               B                E
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light
                E
And I'll make promises
E
Promises to change
                 G#
I'll make her promises swear I'll rearrange
          A
And I'll start giving all the love she needs
E       B          A  B E
If only she will stay
E
Once again she'll reasure me and
   E
I believe her love will cure me
     A                                 E
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
E
Lord I know she's just a woman
         E
And her love can't last forever
      F#m
And someday soon I know she'll
         D#m     B
Leave without a trace
               E
For broken' promises
Will tear her dreams apart
             G#
Just token promises will someday break her heart
              A
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
      E        B
And while I'm sleeping
        A      B   C#m   B C#m D#m
She'll quietly say goodbye
