Hollow Is Your Promise

F  G  F

[Verse 1]

F
Hold on, hold on to your senses

Don't let anyone past your defenses
          G
Don't let anyone close enough
          F
To make a change of where you are


[Verse 2]

F
Don't take care of your mind and your body

Just ignore all those strangers who worry
        G
Keep on burning that midnight hour
        F
On this dark and lonely road


[Chorus]

Am
It's true, it's true
G
Hollow is your promise
       F
From a heart made of stone


[Verse 3]

F
Hold on, hold on to the feeling

That you're the only one under the ceiling
             G
Who felt the warmth come crashing down
            F
The day our hearts were torn apart


[Verse 4]

F
There's no shame in reaching your limit

There's no shame in shedding those tears
       G
If you choose not to come around
                F
It means you're letting someone down

[Chorus]

Am
It's true, it's true
G
Hollow is your promise
       F
From a heart made of stone

[Chorus]

Am
It's true, it's true
G
Hollow is your promise
       F
From a heart made of stone

[Bridge]

Am       F          C                  G
   Every hour spent circling down this dead end street
Am           F             G
   Is eating days worth of light
 F         C                Am               G
   And all around you everyone that counts for something
Am            F           G
   Is shouting desperately in vain

F  G

[Verse 5]

F
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
G
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
F
Carry on, carry on, 'til the break of dawn

[Chorus]

Am
It's true, it's true
G
Hollow is your promise
       F
From a heart made of stone

[Chorus]

Am
It's true, it's true
G
Hollow is your promise
       F
From a heart made of stone

[Outro]

Am
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
